Dhruv Jurel missed scoring a century
At the beginning of the match, the top order of the UP team collapsed quickly and the team was in a difficult situation. In such a situation, wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel took charge. Jurel scored 96 runs in 122 balls, which included 11 fours. His innings took the team beyond 200 and played an important role in taking the score to a respectable level. However, when Jurel was on the threshold of a century, Vidarbha spinner Harsh Dubey dismissed him. Dhruv Jurel was caught out on a brilliant ball. He looked quite disappointed as soon as the wicket fell. This was a big blow for him, because he could have given a big score to the team with a strong century.
Apart from Dhruv Jurel, bowler Shivam Mavi also scored important runs with the bat. Batting at number 8, Shivam Mavi supported Jurel fully and played an inning of 47 runs in 57 balls, which included 5 fours and 1 six. But he also missed scoring a half-century. Apart from these two players, no batsman could touch the 20-run mark, due to which the Uttar Pradesh team was all out after scoring 237 runs in the first innings.
