The reasons behind Karun Nair‘s dismissal following the five-match England series have been revealed by former Indian batsman Dinesh Karthik. In his eight-year comeback to India, Karun Nair scored just 205 runs in eight innings against England.
Karthik claimed that by leaving him out of the squad for the home match against the West Indies, the management had apparently moved on from him. However, given that the series will be played at home, Karthik remarked that Karun Nair would have scored runs against the Windies.
The fact that Karun Nair is no longer being considered indicates that they are letting go of him, which is really difficult for him. He participated in one of the most difficult series on difficult pitches, in my opinion. To be fair, though, he will admit to himself, “Could I have scored more runs in a couple of innings at the start, in the first three Tests?” for the first time.
Karun Nair joined the team as a result of his injury.
because he scored fifty runs on a difficult pitch in the last Test. I can assure you that he would score runs if he were participating in this series. With the way he’s batting, it’s practically a given. In actuality, they are stating, “Big series, we gave him a chance, and he failed to deliver.” Therefore, we move on to someone young for the future,” Cricbuzz cited Karthik as saying.
When Devdutt Padikkal was added in place of Karun Nair , Karthik was all praise for him. The left-handed hitter “earned his recall: into the Indian setup,” the former cricket player and analyst said, praising his skill.
Given that Devdutt received an 80 in Australia (for India A last year), I firmly believe that his being given a chance is a good thing. Australia is a really difficult location to play, and he had runs there, therefore he has ability. Additionally, he scored 50 in Dharamsala during the England series last year. He’s earned his stripes, then. If not, Devdutt would have been on the team from the first day in England. He has merited being called up to the Indian squad,” he continued.
India and the West Indies will play two Test matches, the first in Ahmedabad and the second in Delhi.
