“It’s hard to join like in the middle of the game with goals, but Dhruv Judel has entered and did a really solid job. Full of recognition,” Rahane said.Rahane also spoke about the challenge and emphasized the difficulty of adapting the center of matches, especially in English conditions.“When you sit outside when you watch the game and suddenly you have to come in and make a goal I feel in England is the hardest job. I thought he did it really well. He was really calm behind the goal. He was folded. I was composed.It was the second time in the ongoing series, when Jurel was asked to dress gloves. He also suffered a finger injury in the third Pant test and tried to stop the van from Jasprit Bumhrah. Judel then entered to keep the goals in his absence.After closing the fourth test, which ended in draw, BCCI confirmed that the pants were excluded from the rest of the series. Narayan Jagadeesan was appointed as his replacement in the group.Given the recent experience of Jurel behind the stumps, he is likely to appear in the XI for the fifth and final test.The last test will take place from 31 July to 4 August in an oval in London.
