Last played for India in 2017

Karun Nair started his Test career in a brilliant manner but after that he could not repeat the feat again, due to which he was dropped from the Indian Test team. Karun last played for India in 2017. Now after 7 years, Karun has attracted everyone’s attention with his batting.

The dream of returning to Test cricket motivates me to move forward

In a recent interview, Karun said that he is still hopeful of making a comeback in Tests. “They say a player is at his peak at the age of 30-31, I want to believe that will be true in my case. The last one year has been good for me,” Nair, 32, told ESPNcricinfo. After last year’s Maharajas T20, I had a really good domestic season… I’m just making sure that if I get an opportunity, wherever it is, I’m focused on making the most of those opportunities so that I can do that again. “I can climb the stairs.”

Played a brilliant inning before the IPL auction.

This time there is to be a mega auction. Before that, Karun has shown his talent with his batting. Seeing his innings like this, franchises can definitely think about him during the auction. It will be interesting to see whether Nair gets the benefit of his stormy innings in the upcoming auction or not.
