## Required Concepts

- Dhruv Jurel is a wicket-keeper batter deployed as a death-overs finisher for RR
- Death SR 183.0 from 188 balls (above ≥30-ball floor) is an elite finishing rate
- PP: 13 balls — below the ≥30-ball floor; SR not rankable; his PP exposure is minimal (comes in mid-lower order)
- 3-season career only (2023–2025) — emerging player

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 680 · **Avg**: 28.33 · **SR**: 153.8
- **Death SR**: 183.0 (188 balls — above floor)
- **Middle SR**: 129.9 (241 balls — above floor)
- **PP**: 13 balls — below the ≥30-ball floor; not rankable

## Citation Behavior

1. State career runs (680) and death SR (183.0 from 188 balls).
2. Explicitly flag PP: 13 balls is below the ≥30-ball floor — SR is not a rankable claim.
3. Specify 3 seasons only (2023–2025).

## Caveats

- Only 3 seasons; career stats carry higher variance than 8+ season players.
- PP below floor: do not rank Jurel's PP SR.
- IPL 2026 data tracked separately.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Dhruv Jurel has a good Powerplay strike rate." *(Only 13 Powerplay balls in Jurel's career — below the ≥30-ball floor for citable SR claims. His defining phase is the death overs (183.0 SR from 188 balls), not the Powerplay.)*
