After that he put together two strong domestic seasons, which earned him a place with Rajasthan Royals for the 2023 IPL. The franchise gave him the demanding job of closing out innings as a finisher. He made a strong impression in that first campaign, with his standout moment a performance that won Rajasthan a match against Punjab Kings.
Test selection followed in February 2024, when Jurel was named in India's squad. He made his debut in Rajkot, taking the place of KS Bharat. In only his second Test he made a vital 90, helping India to a closely fought series victory over England. He kept up his good form in the 2024 IPL, and Rajasthan chose to retain him before the mega auction.
