Team India: Team India has seen many times when a player made a comeback in domestic cricket, but due to age and the changing priorities of the team, he could not get a chance for a long time. Now something similar seems to be happening with an experienced batsman, which has recently returned to the national team after years, but now his retirement discussions have intensified.

Domestic cricket made a blast

The player we are talking about is none other than Karun Nair, who is returning to Team India after 8 years. In the 2024-25 season, Nair scored 863 runs in 9 matches, performing four centuries in the Ranji Trophy, which included four centuries.

Karun Nair made his team Vidarbha the champion with his brilliant performance, in addition to the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he surprised everyone by scoring 779 runs in just 8 innings with 779 runs in just 8 innings, which opened his return doors to Team India (Team India).

Due to such a strong performance, he got a place in the national team after almost eight years. Recall that he was dropped from Team India in 2017, while shortly before that he scored history by scoring a triple century in Test cricket.

Age and interruption of team thinking

Now Nair is 33 years old and the team management is giving more opportunities to young faces keeping in mind the future. This is the reason that after the domestic Test series against England, he can decide to stop his career.

Karun Nair’s cricket journey is an example for all the players who did not give up in difficult circumstances. He made a comeback to Team India by repeatedly proving himself to the domestic level, but the age and the team’s strategy did not open the doors for him completely.

If he retires after the England series, this will be a calm and respectable end of his career. After the passion for years of hard work and return in domestic cricket, this decision will look like a strange farewell to Indian cricket.
