Indian team middle -order batsman Karun Nair returned to Team India after 8 years. He was given a chance in the five -match Test series played against England, but he could not redeem on this occasion. In this series against England, he was able to hit only one fifty, while the Indian team had high hopes for him. Former Team India all -rounder Irfan Pathan is very disappointed for his performance. Along with this, he has said a big thing about Karun Nair’s Test career.
What did Irfan Pathan say?
Former Team India cricketer Irfan Pathan said on his YouTube channel, “Karun Nair continued to get a good start in the Test series against England, but he could not take advantage of it. During this time, Karun was able to hit only one half -century. He got many opportunities. Cricket gave him a second opportunity, but he could not take advantage of it, as he should have taken advantage of”. Irfan further said that especially in Lord’s Test, he had a good chance to win the match for India, but he could not do so.
