‘Dear Cricket, please give me a chance’: Karun Nair’s emotional test return after about 3000 days | Cricket News

Yeni Delhi: After about 3000 days, Karun Nair is once again planned to wear the whites of India. The man, who became the second Indian dough after Virnder Sehwag, had a triple -century score in the test jack, and in 2017 he had come out of discussion for a long time after his last appearance against Australia in Dharamsala.He had to wait. He returned to the native cricket, continued to play, and continued to knock on the doors of the selections – but these strokes seemed to have fallen into the deaf ears. Still, he didn’t give up. He remained silent and continued to say, “Dear Cricket, give me another chance.”Right-handed, productive in the 2024-25 domestic season, ran 863 in the Nine-century Ranji Trophy match, and eight Vijay Hazare Trophy Inning, including five centuries.Finally the day came. After 3000 days – or 8 years and 2 months, Nair will proudly wear the Indian Test Jersey, which he expects to win again.On Saturday, BCCI chose Nair in India’s staff for the five -match test series in England. From June to August 2025, the series will take place in Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lord’s (London), Old Trafford (Manchester) and Oval (London).

Interestingly, Nair tested against England in 2016. He was the 287th player representing India in the tests and took the cover from the legendary Sunil Gavascar.Now, 33 years old, returning to the test arena after a long break – once again against England, but this time in their own backyard.Nair’s childhood coach B. Shivanand remembered that the only thing that his student would say quietly when he was packing his kit bag in these years, “Cricket would give me another chance”.“Always calmly. He never talked about anything. ‘Sir, Cricket will definitely give me another chance. This is the only thing he said when I looked at him.Shivanand told Timesofindia.com in an exlclusive interview.Nair, who managed only four runs during a hymen test trip, made a striking return in his next match. He joined the Elit company of Sehwag and won 381 wholesale 303 tied with 32 borders and 4 six.The first Indian Sehwag, who scored three centuries in the tests, praised Nair to the public for Feat.

“Yay! Welcome to 300 club @karun126. The last 12 years has been very lonely for 8 months. The best Karun to you.Ironically, he provoked the three -century long -term exile for Shivanand from the test jack.

“I don’t know what is behind the task of thought. I believe there is three tons. Success usually comes at a cost. After Sehwag, Nair has gained three centuries in the tests and caught him instead of giving him a talent like him. This is not fair. This is not fair for any talented and performance -performing cricket player. Talented players should not be treated like paper handkerchiefs. Any other cricket player may have given up, even retired, but this man really opened for a return. ”“Always, ‘I have to run in the native jack and IPL,’ he said and was sure to be rewarded for her hard work. Waiting was too long and I’m sure, the snow should cry quietly in a deep place. But this time you will see a different snow.“Not aggressive from the outside, but if you really want to see your aggression, watch it now – watch with the bat. I want it to answer all the questions in a century this time.
