Ex-India opener Aakash Chopra opined that both Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant should play in the first Test against South Africa. "The question will be whether you will compromise Sai Sudharsan...or Nitish Kumar Reddy," he said, adding that the team can "sacrifice" Reddy. Jurel scored unbeaten centuries in both innings of India A's second unofficial Test against South Africa A.
