That player entered Team India 8 years ago. But, he was shown the way out from the same series in which he made his debut under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Since then, he has never been able to return to Team India. We are talking about Karun Nair, who scored a triple century in just the third innings during the Test series against England in 2016. It seemed that that unbeaten innings of 303 runs played in Chennai would solidify his place in Team India. But, the failure of the next 4 innings after that ended everything.

Karun Nair scored 373 runs in 7 innings in the Test series played against England in 2016, out of which 303 runs were in just one innings. That means he scored only 70 runs in the remaining 6 innings. After that series, Karun Nair was dropped from Team India. But, then he moved forward every day with the dream that one day he will definitely find a way to return to Team India.

Karun Nair scored a century in Maharaja T20

Currently, Karun Nair is in the news because of his explosive century in Maharaja T20. Playing for Mysore Warriors, he scored 124 runs in just 48 balls with the help of 9 sixes and 13 fours against Mangalore Dragons. This explosive innings has led the team to victory. But, after this blast, his name has once again come into the news.

The current form is awesome, Gambhir will make arrangements to return to the team!

So, will the player who was dropped from Team India under Virat Kohli's captaincy, return to Team India under Gautam Gambhir's coaching? Will the dream of returning to Team India that he has been seeing for the last 4 years, be fulfilled now? These are big questions, the answers to which are not satisfactory at the moment. But, there is no smoke without fire. Karun Nair has scored 690 runs with 2 centuries and 3 half-centuries in 10 matches of the last Ranji season. He was the highest run scorer for Vidarbha.

Apart from making a splash in Ranji, Karun Nair also played an unbeaten innings of 202 runs in the county cricket played in England in April this year. And, now his century in Maharaj T20 is enough to tell how great his current form is. In such a situation, there will definitely be a wave of comeback in Team India.

A player shines in his 30s and that is what happened to me: Nair

32-year-old Karun Nair also said in an interview to Cricinfo that it is said that players are at the peak of their career at the age of 30 plus, which is absolutely true in my case. It is clear that Karun also feels that he is in great form. However, now it is up to Gautam Gambhir and the Indian selectors to decide whether Karun Nair can make a comeback in Team India or not.
