Yashasvi and Jurel’s video goes viral (Photo: x)
IND vs NZ: The third and decisive ODI of the series between India and New Zealand is being played in Indore. Indian team captain Shubman Gill won the toss of the match and decided to bowl first. He put the New Zealand team to bat first. But, what happened in Team India before the start of this match? What happened then made it time for Yashasvi Jaiswal to raise his hand against his teammate Dhruv Jurel. After all, why did Dhruv Jurel get slapped by Yashasvi Jaiswal? The answers to these questions are hidden in Jurrell’s actions.
Yashasvi Jaiswal slapped Jurel
Before boarding the team bus, Dhruv Jurel did something to Yashasvi Jaiswal, which perhaps he did not like. This happened when Yashasvi was walking ahead to board the team bus and Dhruv Jurel was following him. Yashasvi Jaiswal was moving towards the team bus when Dhruv Jurel teased him. Then what happened, Yashasvi Jaiswal slapped him.
Dhruv Jurel survives getting slapped
However, Yashasvi Jaiswal only raised the slap and did not use it. Meaning Dhruv Jurel is left getting slapped by them. However, the video does not seem to confirm what Dhruv Jurel did to Yashasvi Jaiswal except that he slapped him. By the way, after watching the video, this whole matter seems like a joke. Because, both the players were seen smiling while boarding the team bus.

Jurel replaces Pant in Team India
Dhruv Jurel has been associated with Team India in the beach series. He was included in the team in place of Rishabh Pant just before the Vadodara ODI. Pant had to be ruled out of the first ODI due to injury. However, Dhruv Jurel, who was scoring runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, did not get a chance to play in any match of the ODI series against New Zealand.
Yashasvi did not get a chance in the ODI series
Yashasvi Jaiwal is already a part of Team India in the ODI series against New Zealand. But he too has not got a chance to play in any match of the ODI series.
