Team India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025 has been announced. Many star players have been included in India's 15-member team for this tournament which is going to start from February 19. However, the selectors also took some surprising decisions while choosing the team. A player who is scoring runs at an average of 752 in a domestic cricket tournament has not got a chance in this team. But even after this strong performance, this player could not make his place in Team India.

This player did not get a place in the Champions Trophy

Vidarbha captain Karun Nair is batting very well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He is playing big innings in almost every match. In such a situation, it was expected that considering his form, the selectors could take a big decision. But this did not happen, Karun Nair has not returned to the Indian team. During the announcement of the team, when Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked in the press conference about not selecting Karun Nair, he replied that at present there is no place for him in the team.

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar said, 'Karun Nair's form was discussed and such a performance does not happen often. At present it was very difficult for him to get a place in this team. An average of 750+ is absolutely insane. Unfortunately, you can't include everyone in this team. This is a team of 15 people. This performance definitely makes you take notice. If there is loss of form or injury, Karun Nair may enter.

Strong performance in Vijay Hazare Trophy

In Vijay Hazare Trophy, Karun Nair has so far scored 752 runs in 7 innings at an average of 752.00. This includes 5 centuries and 1 half-century. During this period, he has scored 4 centuries in consecutive matches. He is also the batsman who scored the most runs in the tournament. Despite all this, he has not been included in the team. In such a situation, even on social media, cricket fans are surprised by his non-selection. Let us tell you, Karun Nair has played 6 Test and 2 ODI matches for Team India so far. But since 2016, he has not played any ODI match for Team India. At the same time, the last test match was also played in 2017.
