Overview:
Now after failing in 3 consecutive Tests, the path ahead has become very difficult for them. In such a situation, it can now be assumed that Karun should now put a brake on Karun Nair’s career due to the flop in these 3 Tests.
Delhi: Karun Nair, one of the talented batsmen of the Indian cricket team, recently returned to international cricket after 8 years. Whenever the return of this star batsman of Karnataka is mentioned in the cricket corridors, the image of the line “Dear Cricket, Give Me One More Chance” written by Karun Nair in everyone’s mind starts to form.
Karun Nair has got a chance after 8 years on England tour
This is the line in which Karun Nair’s emotions came out. Through this line, he expressed that he is only in the face of one opportunity. If they get this opportunity, then they are not going to leave any deficiency in capitalizing on it. However, Karun Nair also got that opportunity on a tour of England. At the same time, he also got a chance to play all three matches before the 5 -match Test series. However, Karun’s bat could not redeem this opportunity.
Karun Nair has flopped completely
A 5 -match Test series is being played between India and England. In this series, Karun Nair returned to international cricket after 8 years. Where, he could not make this return memorable at all. The batsman could score 131 runs in the first 3 Test match of the Test series against England so far at an average of just 21.83. During this time, not a single fifty could come out of his bat in 6 innings and he scored 40 runs.
In 6 innings played in 3 Tests, only 131 runs have come out of Karun’s bat
When Karun Nair got a chance to return to international cricket after 8 years and about 3 months i.e. 3006 days, it was believed that he would redeem it with full vigor. But, this could not happen. Karun Nair returned to the first Test match played in the Test series headingley against Nair’s English team. Where, he could not even open an account. If we look at his performance in this series, he has been able to score 0, 20, 31, 26. 40 and 14 so far. In which he got a chance on number-3 in the last 2 Test matches. However, his bat remained silent there too.
After 2017, Karun had to wait to return
Karun Nair made his Test debut for Team India at the age of 24. He played the first Test match of his career against England in Mohali in 2016. Where, he could score only 4 runs in the first innings. After this, he was dismissed for only 13 runs in the second Test. But, after this, he created history in the third innings of his career. In the match played in Chennai in the same Test series against England, Karun’s bat came out with a triple century. He became the only batsman for India after former veteran batsman Virender Sehwag who has scored a triple century.
He was successful in making a comeback in domestic cricket
After this, he got a chance to play 3 matches in the domestic Test series against Australia in 2017, but during this time he could score 54 runs in 4 innings. After this, he was dropped from international cricket and stayed away for 8 consecutive years. Finally, he succeeded in making a comeback due to tremendous performance in domestic cricket for some time. Karun Nair, who is playing with Vidarbha team, scored 863 runs in 16 innings of 9 matches in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 at an average of around 54. Which included 4 centuries. At the same time, India’s ODI Tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy was scored 779 runs in 8 innings of 9 matches with his bat in 2024-25. He batted at an amazing average of 389.50 with 5 centuries and 1 half -century.
After the super flop on England tour, now it is difficult for Karun
Seeing this bang in domestic cricket, the selectors finally included Karun Nair on the tour of England. Where he scored a double century while playing for India-A against England Lions. After this it was expected that he would do wonders in the England Test series. However, this could not happen. Now after failing in 3 consecutive Tests, the path ahead has become very difficult for them. In such a situation, it can now be assumed that Karun should now put a brake on Karun Nair’s career due to the flop in these 3 Tests.
