England won by 22 runs against Team India in the third Test match played at Lord’s. In this match, the batsmen performed very poorly in the second innings from Team India and that is why England won the match. After the end of the third Test, former England player Monty Panesar has given a big statement about Karun Nair of India. Monty Panesar believes that his weakest batting for Team India is position number three and Sai Sudarshan should be given a chance in the Manchester Test instead of Karun Nair.
Former player made a statement about Karun Nair
Monty Panesar said on the YouTube channel of Shazia Abbas, ‘The manner in which the Karun Nair Lord’s was out on the fourth day of the game, the England team caught up in the match. He has been given opportunities but Nair has not made a big score yet. I think at this time the batting of number three is the weakest link of the Indian team. I think Sai Sudarshan should be given a chance in the Manchester Test. He was given a chance in the Leeds Test but was then thrown out. I think Sudarshan can perform better.

Sai Sudarshan took part in the first Test match played against England in Leeds. However, his test debut was very bad. Sudarshan did not even open his account in the first innings, while in the second innings he was able to score only 30 runs. In this match, Karun Nair was also dismissed at 0 in the first innings while he scored 20 runs in the second innings. After this, Sudarshan was dropped in the second Test. Nair also participated in this match and he scored 31 runs in the first innings while the Indian batsman contributed 26 runs in the second innings. Talking about Lord’s Test, Nair scored 40 runs in the first innings while in the second innings he returned to the pavilion after scoring 14 runs.
Karun Nair’s poor performance continues
Many fans were expecting good performance from Karun Nair but they have disappointed everyone. Nair has been given opportunities but he is not able to score a big score. It is also difficult for him to play in the Manchester Test. Actually, to stay in the series, Team India needs to win the Manchester Test and that is why Team India can make important changes in its playing XI. Sudarshan may return to India instead of Nair.
