Karun Nair’s failure opens the door to Shreyas Iyer in the test

The end of the road for Karun Nair?

Even Gautam Gambhir talked about giving Nair a long rope, there is no hope. Bridan Cars implicated him for 14 in the second innings, which Anil Kumble called a brain faded moment. Nair denied a car delivery that did not swing. The ball hit his back knee as he did not give any shot. A young man could expect such a dismissal, but not a 33 -year -old man who has played more than 100 first -class matches.

“Perfectly out of blue, she looked solid as usual. The ball did not do much, just came directly. I don’t know what he was thinking. Karun Nair expected the ball probably go away to swing, but it was not, it was just organizing his line, it was coming straight. Bridan cars loved it, Bridan Cars loved it, this is an important wicket,” it is an important wicket, ” Dinesh Karthik said during the comment.

Nair’s form can only be compared to Zak Croli, England. Nair has scored 131 runs, the sixth-masterpiece by Indian batsmen. Even Ravindra Jadeja has scored 266 runs, almost twice as much of what Nair has received so far. With Sai Suhdarson heating the bench and considering the possibility of a future, it is unlikely that Nair will be removed from playing XI from India for the Manchester Test.

Will Shreyas Iyer return to the Test team?

Since withdrawing from the India Test team, Iyer has worked on his batting. And he has worked for him. He has got runs in all formats. In IPL 2025, he was the highest scorer for Punjab Kings with 604 runs, with an average of 50.33 runs. In the previous domestic season, Shreyas Iyer took an average of 68.57 in the Ranji Trophy. He also scored runs in the Iranian Cup and Dalip Trophy. However, there was “no place for them” in the India test side.

“Yes, Shreyas Iyer has played well in domestic cricket, but at the moment, there is no place for him in the Test team,” Ajit Agkar, chairman of the BCCI Selection Committee, said further from the IND vs ENG Test series.

With Karun Nair failing once again, it leaves the door open for Shreyas Iyer and Sarfaraz Khan, they should bat less on 6. Iyer cannot be a good fit. 3 should get a chance to bat in 3. Now when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from tests, Iyer can fight for a place. India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir also kept the door open.

“Anyone can be called if they are in good form. We can only choose 18. But I believe it is always open to those who are good and distribute,” Gambhir said in front of the Indian team’s departure for England.
