Delhi: Vidarbha’s experienced batsman Karun Nair is currently in great form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and is trying to make a comeback in the Indian cricket team. Seeing his excellent performance, fans and cricket experts have raised questions from BCCI. On this, Harbhajan Singh has now criticized BCCI for the team selected against England.
It is unfair to ignore Karun Nair
Harbhajan Singh said on his YouTube channel, “I am looking at Karun Nair’s statistics. In the 2024/25 season, he has scored 664 runs in six matches, out of which five innings have been unbeaten. His average is excellent and he has scored runs at a strike rate of 120. Despite this, he was not included in the team, which is unfair.”
Questions raised on the selection of Rohit and Virat
Harbhajan further said, “Many players are selected only on two matches and many players are selected on IPL performance, then why are the rules different for them? He gave the example that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not in form, but still they are being sent to Ranji. At the same time, why are the players who are continuously scoring runs in Ranji being ignored? Harbhajan raised the question that when will these players get a chance to play, when they are consistently performing well.”
Harbhajan Singh Said: “I’m looking at Karun Nair’s stats. In 2024/25, he played six innings, remained not out in 5, scoring 664 and that was his average. And he’s played at a strike rate of 120. And they don’t pick him. It’s unfair” (YT)
