Will Karun Nair Make a Comeback to Team India?
Karun Nair has appeared as someone interesting to watch because the Indian cricket team might be going through some changes. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are usually quite skillful, have not been played well in the recent test matches. This makes people wonder, What's going to happen with them on the team? In addition, some important games are coming up, such as the Champions Trophy and a series against England. So, those in charge of picking the team will probably be looking closely for new talent to step up.
The Indian Express said that since Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are having a difficult time in tests, and India is changing, Karun is the player the selectors really want to keep an eye on.
Starting in 2022, at the Just Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, Nair has really been working on his game with Coach Vijay Madyalkar's. Being teamed up with such a good coach has definitively played a major part in the 33 year old player's bounce back, making fully sure he stays in the running to be chosen again for the national team.
