Dhruv Jurel breaks silence on emotional IPL auction moment with Rajasthan Royals

India wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel recently reflected on his initial 2022 auction experience with the Rajasthan Royals, revealing that he broke down in tears of relief after being secured for his twenty lakh base price. Initially ignored during the bidding rounds, the young batter was thrilled to finally have a concrete answer for relatives who constantly questioned when he would reach the Indian Premier League.

During his chat with Aakash Chopra, Jurel also admitted that spending his maiden campaign entirely on the bench proved to be a major advantage since he lacked readiness at the time. Observing experienced stars like Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Yuzvendra Chahal from the dugout provided invaluable exposure before he eventually transitioned into a key batting role.
