Team India has to play a 5 -match Test series against England, which starts from June 20. Fantastic batsman Karun Nair has also been included in this Test series team India.

In the very first match of this series, he has received indications of being included in the playing XI. In such a situation, everyone is hoping for his return and on this occasion, Team India’s star and his special friend KL Rahul of Karnataka have given a special message.

I have returned to Team India. I would like to hold this opportunity with both hands. In this video, KL Rahul said, ‘I have known Nair for a very long time and we have spent time with each other for many months. It was a very difficult time for him to return to the team.
Rahul further said, ‘We have all seen that when he was playing a county championship in England, he was quite alone. But he has made a brilliant comeback to the Indian team. This is quite special for them. This is a very special thing for his family members. He has friends like us who have seen his journey. I pray that whatever experience he has got from playing in county cricket, he must use it here.
