Dhruv Jurel made a strong case for his continued presence in the senior Test XI with his second hundred in as many innings against South Africa ‘A’ while fortifying India ‘A’s position on the third day of the four-day match here on Saturday.

Jurel (127 not out) had the perfect foil in Harsh Dubey (84) during the sixth-wicket stand worth 184 runs, guiding India ‘A’ to 382-7 declared in their second innings for an overall lead of 416. At stumps, SA ‘A’ were 25-0.
