Karun Nair has been making a lot of headlines in Indian cricket for the last few days. Karun Nair, who was captaining Vidarbha in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, performed brilliantly as a batsman. He scored a string of centuries in the tournament. It was as if getting the wicket of Karun Nair became a dream for the bowlers. But even after this strong performance, he could not make his place in Team India for the Champions Trophy. After this, in the final of Vijay Hazare Trophy, when the team needed him the most, his bat also did not support him.

Karun Nair's fate played a joke again

January 18 was not a very special day for Karun Nair. Team India was announced for Champions Trophy 2025 at around 3 pm in the day. It was believed that Karun Nair was one of the biggest contenders for a place in this team. But this did not happen. His name was discussed among the selectors, but he could not get a place. During this time he came to play the final of Vijay Hazare Trophy. But about 4 hours after Team India's announcement, he was out cheaply during the run chase.

Karun Nair could score only 27 runs in 31 balls in the final of Vijay Hazare Trophy. During this he hit 4 fours. After this, Prasidh Krishna clean bowled him. Let us tell you, this is also the first time in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 when he was out before scoring a half-century. At the same time, only for the second time in the tournament, a bowler could dismiss Karun Nair. Before this match, his average in the tournament was more than 700, but due to his dismissal in the last match, it came down to 389.5.

Karun Nair scored more than 7 runs

This season of Vijay Hazare Trophy was very memorable for Karun Nair. He scored 779 runs in 8 innings at an average of 389.5, which included 5 centuries and 1 half-century. He had scored unbeaten 122 runs in the first match of the tournament. After this, he contributed 44 unbeaten runs in the second match. After this, Karun Nair scored 4 centuries in 4 consecutive matches. Even in the semi-finals, he scored unbeaten 88 runs on 44 balls. But his bat remained calm in the final.
