Karun Nair remembers Dream India Test Cowback, special support by Shubman Gill & Co.

In December 2016, Karun Nair lived the dream. Although he could not make a mark at his beginnings to the test in India, only two games later, he had marked a triple century undefeated. To put things in context, only 29 strikers were able to reach the milestone. We are talking about 148 years of test cricket.

Nair was one of them. Only the second Indian after Virender Sehwag. To think that 9 years later, Nair would have played only 10 test games would then have seemed to be a joke. But that’s exactly what happened. He played three other test games before being abandoned because he only performed 54 points in four rounds.

Nair was selected for the 2018 Tour Tour in England, but stayed on the bench throughout the test series. In fact, for the last match, Hanuma Vihari was transported from India and presented his test debut despite the expectation of Nair. The striker took 4 years to recover from his emotional blow.

Karun Nair on his dream of returning from testing that is coming true

During the 2022-23 season, Nair was even abandoned from the Karnataka team. Everything had been wrong. Nothing happens, Nair changes teams. This decision turned out to be the best decision he could have made. After the successful performance and retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Nair gave again a chance.

He had been hoping for years for this time. And how poetic it will be in England again. The country where he was part of the India test team is the place where he would come back. In an exclusive interview with Interior sportNair shared what the moment meant for him.

“It was an incredible feeling, a moment of pride to go back to the locker room and wear these whites again. This is something I dreamed in recent years. Nair said Interior sport.

Essential support

One of the reasons for which Nair took so long to come back was the poorly managed by the coach and the captain at the time. After keeping it on the bench for four games, they brought someone again instead of playing it. Nair did not blame them for everything that happened in 2018, but he simply thanked his teammates and his management for having supported him this time.

“The way the team welcomed me (was special). They have always supported me, supported me throughout the series and gave me the confidence I needed, “ Nair added.
