Is Karun Nair’s career over?
Karun Nair got a chance in the Indian team on the recently ended England tour after eight years. But he was badly flopped in Anderson-Tendulkar series. In eight innings of four Tests, he was able to score only 205 runs at an average of just 25 than 25. In such a situation, the selectors dropped him for the West Indies series. The 33 -year -old veteran batsman hardly get a chance in the Indian team again!

A few days ago, Devdutt Padikkal, who played a brilliant 150 runs against Australia A team in Lucknow, has returned to the Test squad. The left-handed batsman was part of the team in the previous border-Gavaskar Trophy.
