Things can’t get any better for Karun Nair and it is all but certain that he returns to the playing XI in the main squad for the England series. The Vidarbha batter has reached his double century in the 1st unofficial Test between India A and England Lions. Continuing on his impressive form in domestic cricket, Nair is all set to make his comeback to the national team after a gap of 7 years.
Nair can’t be snubbed from India’s XI, period
Coming into bat at the 7th over, Karun has been an unstoabble force so far in the contest. He breached the 200-run mark off 272 deliveries, proving be one one of the best middle-order options for India. It is pertinent to point out that Shubman Gill and co. need Nair in the playing XI simply because he is one of the most experienced players in the red-ball format in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Besides, he has used his County Championship experience effectively to cement his spot in the side for the upcoming Test series against Engalnd.
Nair’s display of soid technique along with his ability to score runs unpertubed makes him the apt choice to replace Virat at number 4. Of course, there is Sarfaraz Khan as well, who fell short of a well-deserved hundred. However, given Karun’s form in the recent past, he is the best man to fill in the shoes of Kohli at number 4.
Nair has played 6 Tests for India so far and has amassed 374 runs. While batting at number 5, he has amassed 321 runs, which includes his best score of 303*. Given Karun’s form, he is in apt position to occupy the void created by Kohli’s departure. India will take on England in the 1st Test at Leeds starting from June 20.
