Karun Nair has impressed one and all with his incredible performances in the recent Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, where he finished as the leading run-scorer with 779 runs with the help of five hundreds in just eight innings at an overwhelming average of 389.50 and a strike rate of 124.
The BCCI and Indian selectors’ decision to ignore Karun Nair for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was slammed by many former cricketers and fans, but Aakash Chopra felt it was a fair call to invite more criticism. The commentator believes that the selectors made no incorrect decisions.
Aakash Chopra said that Karun Nair’s Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 campaign was outstanding, but it won’t be fair to others to be overlooked for a player based on a strong showing in just one tournament for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Aakash Chopra said in his YouTube video: “There is an ongoing crusade that Karun Nair should have been in the team. Since he has scored so many runs, he said he is not knocking at the door but just breaking it down. I saw somewhere that it was said that KL Rahul should be dropped. He has an average of 58 at Nos. 4 and 5. He played well in the World Cup.”
