Dhruv Jurel's impressive work ethic and his quest for excellence stood out when he plays for Rajasthan Royals, the IPL team's Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara said after the youngster received his maiden call-up in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming England series. The young Uttar Pradesh batter-keeper stole limelight during the last IPL. He had risen through the ranks with impressive red ball performances for his state in domestic cricket and is currently an India 'A' regular. "I'm feeling very proud and happy because one of our key motivators and performance indicators in the IPL is to produce players for India and we have produced quite a lot over the years," Sangakkara replied to a PTI query on Saturday. "Jurel is the latest addition. He is a brilliant young man, a very good player and has worked really hard to get where he has," said the former Sri Lanka captain, who is here to oversee Paarl Royals.
