…. So for this reason Kohli dropped Karun Nair from the team, after 8 years Anil Kumble lifted the curtain from this deep secret!

Karun Nair: When IPL is played in India every year, there are many players who are not short of talent, despite this, they have to struggle a lot to get a chance in the team. 8 years ago today, when Karun Nair was dropped from the team.

So at that time Virat Kohli, who was captaining Team India, had a lot of questions that what was the reason behind dropping this player who scored a triple century from the team. Now former India veteran Anil Kumble has given a big reply to this whole matter.

For this reason Kohli drops Karun Nair from the team

It is a big thing for any player to score a triple century in his career, but it becomes a big question that after this special performance, a player should be dropped from the team by the captain. In 2016, Karun Nair played a historic innings of 303 runs against England. After this, he never got a regular place in the team.

There was no clear reason behind Karun being dropped from Team India. Due to this, Virat Kohli was also criticized a lot but it is believed that at that time the attitude of established batsmen and selector like Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul was the biggest reason in Team India, due to which Karun Nair could not establish his place in the team.

Anil Kumble told the truth after years

Now many years later, while commenting during a match of IPL 2025, Anil Kumble told why Karun Nair dropped after a Tahra century. He said that Rahane returned after scoring 300 runs and he was not a coach when Team India played from Australia-England. Hanuman Bihari returned there,

After this, he did not get a chance, as far as Virat’s role is concerned, he was the captain of the team at that time and it is clear that his opinion was important in the selection process. The captain and the selector may have taken this decision regarding Karun Nair in view of their form.
