Performance Zero, but the name is heavy! This player is not shining even after getting a place in the Test team
IND Vs Eng: For the five -match Test series (IND Vs ENG) against England, a player returned to the Indian Test team, after hearing the name, a wave of enthusiasm raged in the fans. He got a chance again after seven years on the strength of a strong performance in domestic cricket. It was expected that he would prove himself this time and repeat his old performance, but the picture on the field was absolutely reverse. The performance is not as good at the moment.
The player we are talking about is none other than Karun Nair. His return to the Indian Test team for the India-England Test series was made happy after 7 years.
But in the first two matches of the series, nothing could come out of his bat, so that his selection could be justified. In his game, neither confidence was seen, nor the spirit of playing big innings.
Two matches, Four innings… only the figures are left
In the first two matches of the five -match Test series, Nair played four innings and could only score only 77 runs. In the first innings, 0 (4), in the second 20 (54), then 31 (50) in the third and 26 (46) in the fourth scored. Neither a big innings was seen, nor a demonstration to make an impact on the match.
Nair had once again knocked on Team India’s door by performing well in domestic cricket. The selectors also expressed confidence and included them in the team. But he has lost this opportunity to prove himself at the international level.
Karun Nair’s return faded
Karun finally got a chance to wear Team India’s Test jersey for the Indo-England Test series again after seven years, but he could not redeem the opportunity. Their figures and performances at this time look much lighter than their experiences and names.
If the next innings do not improve, this return may be the last of his career. Many young batsmen are ready to get a place in the team, who are constantly performing at the domestic level. In such a situation, the selectors can think several times before giving a chance next time.
