Long rope or no hope? The Indian cricket team faces a dilemma of Karun Nair before the test of Ind Vs Eng Lord
Karun Nair scored 0, 20, 31 and 26 with an average of 19.25 in the first two tests. Despite his experience and his series, Nair was the only failure of India on two flat locations.
Karun Nair asked for a chance to Dear cricket. It gave him not only one but four. England offered him two flat bridges in Leeds and Birmingham, where 3,365 points were marked in eight sleeves. However, Nair returned with only 77 missing from those of 19.25 on average. His highest score was 32 in four rounds. With Ind vs Eng Lord test To come on July 19, one cannot help but wonder if there is a place for Nair 34 years with Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel and Abhimanyu Easwaran – all waiting for a chance to shine.
While the head coach of India, Gautam Gambir, rested his faith in Karun Nair before the start of the series of Ind Vs Eng, things have changed since. He struck at n ° 3 in Leeds, marking 0 and 20. In Birmingham, the most flattering of the surfaces of the two tests, he returned with 31 and 26. There was a clear lack of confidence. India winning in Birmingham, the return of Nair may have been neglected, but in Lord’s, things could be different.

Is it time to go from Karun Nair?
Sai Sudharsan made his test debut in Leeds, marking a duck and 30. He had to be sacrificed in Leeds to obtain the correct combination. Although there are still three games to travel, a change in the combination of strikers is unlikely. However, if Gambhir wants to go from
“It is always good to have the experience of a guy who has played a little county cricket. There is when he is in a very good form, where he has a 200 for India A. We will not judge someone by only one or two test games. I think that if someone has marked lots of tracks, I think it will be given a decent race so that he can present his talent at this level”, “ Gambir said at the press conference before departure.
While Gambhir was right not to judge Nair on his failure to return to cricket after eight years, he could be time. Nair fell twice, once on blankets trying to go on a trip. He was once captured and played, which was described as gentle dismissals. In both games, Nair beat at n ° 6 and n ° 3, he is comfortable with. But in n ° 3, when the terrain had nothing to offer to the what else, he did not take this chance, Extension of India crisis n ° 3.
Who should replace Nair?
Nair could have a third chance. But beyond, it is unlikely. However, if Gambir shoots him on the Ind Vs Eng Lord test, there are three options. Abhimanyu Easwaran, although an operator, can also beat at n ° 3. Sai Sudharsan is the long -term vision of India at n ° 3. Although it is young and lack of experience, flat locations and adapted to strikers in England will trust him. The third option is to accompany Dhruv Jurel.
Although the swelling is not a high -level striker, he showed his prowess in four tests, playing mainly as a hitter of the lower order. In these six rounds, Jurel marked a fight of fifty fights. For India against the Lions of England, Jurel scored 94 and 53 and 52 & 28. If India continues to experiment with No. 3, Jurel is not a bad option.
With Jasprit Bumrah which was to return to the Ind Vs Eng Lord test, India could make a direct exchange with Prasidh Krishna. However, they want to tinker more about the combination, Sudharsan could come to No. 3 in place of Nair. However, Nair is likely to have another chance.
