Many star players playing in the domestic tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy will soon be seen making their mark in the T20 series against England as well. However, there is one player who has scored a total of 5 centuries in this tournament including four consecutive ones, yet he has not got entry in Team India. The name of this player is Karun Nair. It is believed that he may not be able to present his claim in the ODI and T-20 team, but he should definitely get the chance in the Indian Test team, which he deserves. After consistently record-breaking performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Nair has knocked on the doors of BCCI and Team India.

Will Karun return to Team India after 8 years?

Karun Nair has played for Team India. Although a long time has passed since that period. He was last seen playing for Team India in the year 2017. However, now at a time when Team India is going through a phase of change in Test cricket, the team needs a batsman like Karun Nair. Team India's recent performance against Australia and New Zealand was very shameful. Despite the depth in the team's batting, the batsmen flopped. Even big giants like Rohit and Virat did not score runs. At such a juncture, Karun, who is scoring century after century in domestic cricket, can bring relief for Team India. However, his luck needs the support of the selectors. Nair is desperate to return to Team India. In December 2024, he wrote in a post on social media, 'Dear Cricket, give me one more chance'.

Karun has scored 5 centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Karun Nair has created a lot of havoc with his bat in Vijay Hazare Trophy. In this domestic tournament being played in ODI format, Karun scored another century (122 runs) yesterday (January 12). So far in this season, he has scored a total of 5 centuries including 4 consecutive centuries. Before this, he scored 112 runs against UP on 3 January, 111 not out against Tamil Nadu on 31 December, 163 not out against Chandigarh on 28 December, 44 not out against Chhattisgarh on 26 December and 44 not out against Jammu & Kashmir on 23 December. Played an unbeaten inning of 112 runs.

Scored a triple century against England

Karun Nair has achieved that feat in Test cricket which even greats like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have not been able to do. Nair has played 6 tests in his career. The last time he came on the field for Team India was in the year 2017. Karun came into limelight by scoring a triple century against England. He had taken serious notice of the Kangaroo bowlers in the Test played in Chennai in 2016. Karun had scored unbeaten 303 runs in 381 balls. Which included 32 fours and 4 sixes. This was Karun's third test match. However, despite this, his Test career was limited to 6 matches.
