, Uttarakhand, Juyal was spotted by Ravindra Negi, a coach at Abhimanyu Cricket Academy and upon Negi's proposal, junior Juyal's father, Dr. Sanjay Juyal enrolled him at this Academy. After an initial period of adjustment, the 11 year old Juyal settled into the residential cricket academy, which like the many boarding schools nestled in Dehradun, polished his raw talent into the finished product. Juyal started making regular appearances in the Uttar Pradesh Under-14 and Under-16 teams. After two years at Dehradun, Juyal moved to Moradabad, where his mother’s family stayed. From there he would travel to Delhi, often staying in the capital for five days at a time. He trained at LB Shastri Cricket Club under Sanjay Bharadwaj, gaining match experience. At their home in Haldwani, Juyal's father has built an indoor enclosure with one turf and one artificial wicket, and enough space for bowlers to take a full run up. In the monsoons when Juyal would not be able to play outdoors, he would go back to Haldwani to train at the indoor enclosure at home.
