Karun Nair Aims for a Test Comeback After Seven Years

Karun Nair, who has played six Test matches for India, is hopeful about making a test Comeback to the national team. Although his total of 374 runs in these matches might not seem impressive at first, one standout innings a triple century makes the numbers look much better. Despite this remarkable feat, Nair only managed a second-highest score of 26 in the rest of his innings, which includes a brilliant unbeaten 303 against England in 2016.

Recent Performances

Nair’s last Test for India was in 2017 against Sri Lanka. Since then, he has been working hard to revive his career. Over the past year, Nair has been performing well in domestic and county cricket.

• For Northamptonshire: Nair scored 484 runs in seven matches, averaging 49. He also hit a century against Glamorgan.
• For Vidarbha: He accumulated 690 runs in 10 matches, including two centuries, helping his team reach the Ranji Trophy semi-finals.

Despite his strong performances, Nair is focusing on taking things one game at a time as he hopes to return to the Indian Test team.

With experienced players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane having left the Test team, there is a chance for new talent. Nair is optimistic about his return and is determined to make the most of every opportunity.

He remains confident and excited about the possibility of representing India again. “Yes, of course. Everyone plays this game to represent their country, and that’s my only aim now to play Test cricket again. I’m confident that I can do it. I know I’m good enough,” Nair added.
