0


Karun Nair, who returned after several years in the Indian cricket team, has failed to leave a mark against England in the three matches played so far, after which the demand for him to be excluded from the team has also started. However, former Indian cricketer Anil Kumble believes that Karun Nair should also be given a chance in the fourth Test against England.

Karun has scored 131 runs in six innings of the first three matches of the current series. Nair has got a good start in the series so far, but he has not been able to convert that beginning into a big innings. Kumble believes that Karun’s 40 -run innings in India’s first innings at Lord’s confirms his place in the team for the fourth match at Old Trafford.

Speaking at Star Sports’s ‘Follow the Blues’ program, Kumble said, “I don’t want to change much because I think India has shown a great game. Yes, he lost by 22 runs. Apart from injuries, we cannot say anything about Rishabh Pant. He (Nair) will definitely maintain his place. The partnership was important.

Speaking further, Kumble said, “If he had been out quickly, perhaps Shubman Gill would have got a chance to play a little before the new ball. We know that the first 20 or 25 overs were important. I think he would retain his place. He was unfortunate. Jo Root was out. Jo root was a brilliant catch. Maybe he was given another chance. The first Test was not lost, when India was not defeated, then India did not have any special. From, Ravindra Jadeja has definitely improved in his batting. He will definitely be confident and the team management will also be more confident that the lower order is now contributing. “
