Karun Nair’s Stunning Form Puts Him Back on Selectors’ Radar

Karun Nair has delivered a phenomenal performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, scoring 664 runs without being dismissed. Karun Nair incredible form includes four consecutive centuries, propelling Vidarbha to the semifinals of the tournament.

Nair’s scores in the tournament are 112*, 44*, 163*, 111*, 112*, and 122*. He has set a record for the most runs scored in List A cricket without being dismissed. He also became the second batter to score five centuries in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy edition. Additionally, he is the third batter to record four consecutive centuries in List A cricket history.

His stellar performance has caught the attention of selectors considering him for future international fixtures. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma facing challenges, Nair could be a key addition. Reports suggest discussions about including him in the Champions Trophy and the Test series in England this June.

Nair reflected on his tough times when he was out of contention for cricket at the highest level. He spent hours training at the Just Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, focusing on improving his skills and mindset. His hard work paid off when he joined Vidarbha, supported by Abey Kuruvilla.

As Vidarbha prepares for the semifinals, Nair remains a focal point due to his consistent and remarkable performances. His resurgence not only strengthens Vidarbha’s chances but also positions him as a strong candidate for the national team.
