Place in the team after 7 years, but Karun Nair’s luck again cheated, 23 -year -old player in England replaced
Karun nair: “Dear cricket, give me another chance…” Karun Nair wrote this emotional appeal on his social media on 10 December 2022. Nearly two and a half years later, he received a reply on 24 May 2025, as a selection for the tour of England in the Indian team. This was the victory of his never -ending spirit. But Kismat once again shocked, a 23 -year -old young player has got a chance in playing 11.
According to sources, the possibility of replacing Karun Nair (Karun Nair) is none other than the possibility of replacing Karun Nair, but the Orange Cap winner of IPL 2026 is Sai Sudarshan.
If sources are to be believed, the team management is looking for a stable batsman at number four for the Test series in England. Karun Nair was included in the team for this slot, but now the chances of giving Sai Sudarshan a chance at that place have intensified.
Sai Sudarshan scored 759 runs for GT in IPL 2025, including a century and six half -centuries. With 21 sixes and 88 fours, Sudarshan showed a great form throughout the tournament, after which he can be preferred over Karun at number four on the tour of England.
Sai Sudarshan vs Karun Nair: Future vs. Experience
This has become a classic question for the selectors-would he give priority to the young player running in form or will Karun Nair, who has already proved himself in experienced and Test cricket, will give another chance?
Sai Sudarshan’s form, fitness and technology in IPL are also considered suitable for Test cricket. Especially at number four, there is a search for such stability, which can handle the team in challenging situation abroad.
Final decision remains, But the signs are clear
However, it has not yet been confirmed to officially exclude Karun Nair or include Sai Sudarshan in the final 11, but the way the discussions are being held, it is clear that this place is not confirmed for Karun.
Now the question is that when the team decides for number four, will the experience be heavy or form and possibilities? At the moment, the same question must have been echoing in Karun Nair’s heart again – “Dear cricket, will you still get another chance?”
