There has been an unlucky player of the Indian cricket team, who scored a triple century in his third test match, but despite this his international cricket career is almost over.
If this player had got a chance, he would have been one of the biggest star cricketers of Team India today. Let’s take a look at this cricketer:
This player’s career is getting ruined
Indian team batsman Karun Nair had scored a triple century in the third Test match of his Test career against a strong team like England.
Earlier, no other Indian batsman had been able to make such a record except Virender Sehwag. It was only after this triple century that the countdown to Karun Nair’s career started.
Karun Nair was last seen playing for Team India in the year 2017. It is every Test specialist’s dream to score a triple century. But, his contribution was completely forgotten by the Indian selectors.
Big allegations were made against Shastri and Kohli
Karun Nair was included in the Indian Test team for the Test series played against England in the year 2018, but he was not fed in a single match throughout the tour.
Karun Nair had made big allegations against the then captain of the Indian team, Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri. Karun Nair had said that I was included in the team of five Test matches in England, but I was not included in a single match in the playing XI.
During this, neither the coach nor the captain nor the selectors told me why I was out of the team. Nobody talked to me. Indian opener Murali Vijay also raised questions on the selectors.
Murali Vijay had said that there is a lack of communication among the selectors. He does not tell any player his shortcomings when the player is dropped from the team. From this we also do not know what is the criteria of selection.
Could have become a big cricketer
When Karun Nair scored a triple century against England in Chennai, then it seemed that Karun Nair was a horse of a long race, but it was not seen. He was dropped from the team after scoring a triple century.
This happened because the then captain of Team India, Virat Kohli did not want to drop Ajinkya Rahane from the team. Karun Nair had to be out in order to give Ajinkya Rahane a chance. If Karun Nair had been given more opportunities, he could have become a big cricket star of India.
Played only 6 test matches in career
Karun Nair made his Test debut against England in November 2016 and after that he was last seen playing against Australia in March 2017.
He has played only 6 Test matches in his career and has scored 374 runs at an average of 62.33. His high score in Test is 303 runs. However, Nair himself will not have any idea why he was not given attention in the team after his excellent performance.
Till date the place in Team India has not been confirmed.
Karun Nair was included in the Indian Test team for the Test series played against England in the year 2018, but he was not fed in a single match throughout the tour. What happened to him in England probably affected his mental level.
He was in the squad, but Hanuma Vihari got a chance in his place. Sometimes things like this make a big impact on you. Vihari was given a chance in the playing XI outside the squad, but Nair did not get a chance.
Karun Nair became the first batsman in the world to score a triple century in the fewest Test innings, but till date he has not been able to cement his place in Team India.
