Karun Nair has scored an average of 0, 20, 31 and 26 in the first two tests. Despite his experience and form run, Nair was India’s only failure on two flat pitches.
Karun Nair asked for a chance Dear cricketIt gave him not only one but four. England gifted him to two flat decks in Leeds and Birmingham, where 3365 runs were scored in eight innings. Nevertheless, Nair made a comeback with an average of 77 runs on an average of 19.25. His highest score in those four innings was 32. with IND vs Eng Lord’s Test Coming on July 19, no one can help, but wonder if Sai Sudarshanan, Dhruv Jurlel and Abhimanyu have space for 34-year-old Nair with Izavaran-waiting for all shining.
While India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir reiterated his faith in Karun Nair before the introduction of the IND vs ENG Test series, things have changed since then. He batted at number 3 in Leeds, scored 0 and 20. In Birmingham, the most flattened of the surfaces of two tests, he returned with 31 and 26. There was a clear lack of confidence. Along with winning India in Birmingham, Nair’s return may have been ignored, but the Lord’s things may be different.
Karun Nair in Leeds and Birmingham Test
- Total runs: 77 runs (0, 20, 31 and 26)
- Innings: 4 innings
- Average: 19.25

Is this time to move beyond Karun Nair?
Sai Reformson made his Test debut in Leeds, scored a duck and 30. He had to sacrifice in Leeds to get the combination correct. While there are still three matches, there is no possibility of a change in batting combination. However, if the serious wants to move forward
“It is always good to have a person who has played a bit of county cricket. When he is very good, where he has got 200 for India. We will not judge only one or two Tests. I think if someone has piles a pile of run, I think he will be given a decent run so that he can show his talent at this level,” Gambhir said at the pre-department press conference.
While it was serious that it could be time to judge Nair on his failure on return to test cricket after eight years. Nair has fallen twice in the slip once, trying to go for a drive on the cover once. He was once caught and bowled, called a soft dismissal. In two matches, Nair batted at number 6 and number 3, with both. But not at 3, when the pitch had nothing to offer to the bowlers, he failed to take that opportunity, Extension of India’s number 3 crisis,
Who needs the place of Nair?
Nair may get a third chance. But beyond this, this is unlikely. However, if Gambhir pulled the plug on the IND vs ENG Lord Lord, there are three options. Abhimanyu Izavaran, although a backup opener, can also bat on 3. Sai Reformson is not the long -term vision of India. While he is young and lacks experience, flats in England, batting -friendly pitches will give him confidence. The third option is to go with Dhruv Jurlel.
While Jural is not a top-order batsman, he has shown his skills in four tests, who is mostly playing as a low-order batsman. In those six innings, Jurall fought fifty. For India against Lions of England, Jurall scored 94 and 53 and 52 and 28 runs. If India continues to experiment with a 3 spots, Jurael is not a bad option.
To return to Ind vs. England Lord’s Test with Jaspreet Bumrah, Bharat Prasad can swap directly with Krishna. However, they want to tinker with further combination, can come at number 3 in place of Sudarshan Nair. However, Nair is likely to get another chance.
