Karun Nair or Sai Sudharsan? 5 reactions of experts on the team of Dilemma n ° 3 of India for the 4th Eng vs ind 2025 test
The Team India Karun Nair drummer received a highly anticipated test for the current series in England following certain stellar interior performance. There were great hopes of the 33 -year -old player, who has experienced to play County cricket in England. However, the return did not leave according to the plans of Nair and Team India.
Visitors supported Vidarbha’s striker for the first three tests against England, but Nair failed to seize opportunities. In six rounds, he only succeeded in a disappointing average of 21.83. The right -handed striker scored 0 and 20 in Leeds. He followed with 31 and 26 in Birmingham and 40 and 14 at Lord’s. His second -round dismissal at Lord’s sparked a collapse of the Indian striker.
Although Nair had a number of departures in the test series in England, there are concerns about his technique. With the series on the line, visitors are in a major enigma on position n ° 3 before the fourth test at Old Trafford in Manchester. We examine what some experts have to say about India n ° 3 misfortunes before the fourth test.
Farokh engineer
Former Farokh engineer Keeper Batter India said Nair was 30 years old. However, he added that much greater scores are expected of a N ° 3 striker in the test cricket. According to the engineer, if Sai Sudharsan is a fairly good dough, he should play the next test in Manchester.
“Karun Nair became brilliant the 20s and 30s. He (nair) marked beautiful 30 races, beautiful roofing readers and all this. But a beautiful 30 is not expected from a n ° 3. You must get a larger 100.
“We should choose the best XI. I have not seen many Sai Sudharsan. You have to choose the best player for the moment. Who will give you maximum? You play for your country. Your reputation is at stake. So, I would say, forget the age. If it is good, play it to win this test match,” said age.
Sai Sudharsan made his debut during the first test in Leeds. He recorded scores of 0 and 30 and was then abandoned from game XI.
Murali Kartik
The former spinner of India on the left weapon Murali Kartik admitted that Nair had failed to capture his chances during the first three tests against England. However, he considered that management could be tempted to give another chance to the domestic giant. Kartik, however, conceded that the final decision would be extremely delicate.
“Given the number of races he has marked, he has had a chance because of this. But did he take the opportunity so far? I do not think, and there will be a lot of pressure on him … India will she look at continuity? They should. Because if you play a player with a logic, you want the player to prove this correct,” Kartik told Cribuzz.
“But it is also important to see if the player has converted the races according to the experience. He did? Maybe not. It will therefore be interesting to see what Gautam Gambir and Shubman Gill think of him for the next match,” he added.
Although Nair seemed good enough during his stay at the fold, he perished at some layoffs. In the second round at Lord’s, he experienced his arms at an incoming delivery and was trapped in front of the stumps.
Deep dasgupta
The former goalkeeper of India, Deep Dasgupta, believes that Nair had his chances in the test series in England. He believes that the time has come to move on and look to the future. Admitting that Nair looked good in the patches, Dasgupta said he had not done enough to be kept for Manchester.
“What I would look at is at number three. Karun Nair would he continue or do you want to invest in a young player like Sai Sudharsan who looked comfortable in the last heats he played in this first test match?” DASGUPTA told PTI.
“He is young and an investment for the future. Karun, I think, has his chances. It is not a question of chances. More than that, I think what he looked like. He looked comfortable in the patches, but a few questions are always unanswered. And that’s what makes me think otherwise,” he added.
Sai Sudharsan has the experience of 30 first class games in which he scored 1,987 points at an average of 38.96, with seven hundred and five fifty.
Mohammad Kaif
The former striker of India Mohammad Kaif urged the management of the team not to panic and to make changes after the loss of the Lord against England. He admitted that Nair had not made the best use of his opportunities, but estimated that the striker deserves another chance of proving himself.
“One thing I noticed – when India loses, they panic. When they win, they stick to the same XI. After losing the first test, they brought two to three changes. But after winning in Birmingham, only (Jasprit) Bumrah has entered – no other change. It is the model,” Kaif told Ians.
“Even after losing the third test, I think they should support the same team in Manchester. Karun Nair made his debut – 30s and 40s – but without converting. However, it deserves another opportunity. It is a test for the time for Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambir. After a narrow loss, will they panic and make changes? Or will they trust players? ” He added.
After losing the first test in Leeds, India abandoned Sai Sudharsan and Shardul Thakur, while Jasprit Bumrah was rested.
Usman Ghaani
Even if Nair was criticized following his failures during the first three tests, he found the support of Vidarbha’s coach, Usman Ghani. According to Ghani, Nair is mentally a very strong guy and should be kept in the XI of play for the last two tests against England.
“Karun unfortunately achieved some very good deliveries [on the England tour]. He also obtained a good ball in the last sleeves at Lord’s, where he left the ball [but was trapped LBW by pacer Brydon Carse]. It may be in a defensive mode. He was probably in two minds to leave or play it, “Ghani said midday.
“But I believe that the sleeves he played were very soft. I think it will be preserved for the two remaining tests,” he concluded.
Looking at his first class career, Nair appeared in 119 games and scored 8,601 points at an average of 48.86, with the help of 24 hundred and 36 fifty.
