Jurel basks in Tendulkar’s compliment, eyes wicketkeeping consistency under Sangakkara <div id="content-body-70889490" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Rajasthan Royals wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, who effected a stunning stumping of Kolkata Knight Riders batter Cameron Green in the IPL on Sunday, said he was grateful to be working with the legendary Sri Lankan stumper Kumar Sangakkara.</p><p>“I am very grateful to be playing under Sangakkara (head coach); he is a legend of the game. I am very hardworking and consistent with my wicketkeeping. I want to be consistent rather than doing something magical,” Jurel said.</p><p>The 25-year-old’s stumping also earned him plaudits from Sachin Tendulkar, who termed Jurel’s exploits behind the stumps ‘simply magnificent’.</p><p>“It is a dream come true. Such a big legend saw my match and made a special tweet for my stumping. It feels good when such a big cricketer praises you,” Jurel gushed.</p><p><b>ALSO READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/ipl/lsg-vs-rr-ipl-2026-match-preview-lucknow-super-giants-rajasthan-royals-news/article70889454.ece" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Spotlight on pacers as Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals aim to move on from defeats</a></b></p><p>The Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer is hoping to make the most of home comforts at the Ekana Cricket Ground when his team faces Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Wednesday.</p><p>“This is my home ground, so I will be able to help my teammates.

It is just to free him [Badoni] up. He is a huge talent, and the world has seen that over the last couple of years. I can be that guy in the middle-order and just control things,” Markram said, explaining his role.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 21, 2026</p></div> #Jurel #basks #Tendulkars #compliment #eyes #wicketkeeping #consistency #Sangakkara

When I arrived to cover the Minnesota Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press in 2000, it was clear I was dealing with a star-studded roster.

The team boasted future Pro Football Hall of Famers; wide receivers Cris Carter and Randy Moss and defensive tackle John Randle. Plus, there were a ton of other stars including quarterback Daunte Culpepper, center Matt Birk and running back Robert Smith. The Vikings were loaded with star power.

The talent around the team wasn’t relegated simply to the roster, however.

That summer I first laid my eyes on a 16-year-old high school junior named Larry Fitzgerald Jr. The son of a local media member and close friend of Vikings’ head coach Dennis Green, Little Fitzy was a ball boy during training camp and on game days. It turns out, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. is very likely the most famous former NFL ball boy in history.

On reporting date, fellow reporter Kevin Seifert pointed out Fitzgerald to me and said “that’s a bad man.” Seifert didn’t say that about any of the actual Vikings that day.

Fitzgerald was already known as the best Minnesota high school prospect in years and he was considered one of the best high school players in the country. Seifert told me the buzz was that the kid was, no doubt, headed to the NFL in a half decade or so. Seifert was on the money. I’m not sure the Hall of Fame was mentioned or not.

But this weekend of course, that’s exactly where Little Fitzy is headed. He will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Fitzgerald will be remembered as one of the best and most productive wide receivers in league history after an incredible 17-season career with the Arizona Cardinals.

I have a ton of memories of being around Fitzgerald, but there’s one that stands out among them all.

One day after training camp, a nameless Vikings’ wide receiver camp body was getting extra work on a JUGS machine, catching balls. He was being tutored by Fitzgerald, who was showing this player how to properly approach the incoming ball. This was a child instructing a grown man an NFL team deemed good enough to attend training camp.

Larry Fitzgerald Jr. was special even back then.

In addition to his incredible natural football ability, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. stood out for his politeness and good nature. You could tell he was a good kid from the first time you met him.

There was no I’m-going-to-be-a-star attitude. He was genuine and he worked his tail off with the rest of the ball boys. There was no entitlement. It was as if he was using his time around an NFL camp as an internship for his future. He passed with flying colors.

I’ve always cherished following his career from his days at Pittsburgh in college to his days of dominating the NFL and I’ve enjoyed running into him over the years now and again.

Enjoy Canton, Little Fitzy, you’ve earned it.
