IND vs Eng: Karun Nair remembered 2018 Snow by Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri – ‘It felt as if someone had hit me in the ground’. Cricket news
In Leeds on Friday, Karun Nair could finish his eight -year wait and return to India’s Test XI.This will be a full-cycle moment for the 33-year-old, which was snatched away by the then Team India Management-Captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri during the 2018 India Tour of England-because he spent a full five-match series on the bench.Prior to the fifth test, there was a chance that he could get a game, but team management and selectors flew into Hanuma Vihari – which was not part of the original squad – from India and handed him a Test debut.Snab took a toll on Nair, the form of which reached the point where in 2022, he was dropped from the Karnataka squad into all three formats.“It felt like someone had hit me in the ground and I did not know where to go,” Nair told Mail Sport about his 2018 experience in England.Nair further revealed how he went into a shopping competition, it was told that he was not playing, and at that moment he felt alone.“I will never forget that hour when the news hit me. I did not know what to do or to talk to, so I went for Oxford Street to walk in all ways and started buying anything else. I was never a man who was after expensive goods, but it was Daward on me – when I don’t control me, I am waiting for things?” He said.“I found a pair of Louis Wuton’s shoes because I could never do it before. For me, it was never about money. My interest was purely cricket and wanted to play for India.
“But I needed to feel happy myself, and I thought in a foolish manner. I would be happy. I’m buying Oxford Street up and down that I felt and came back with bags and bags.“There was a game left, but it was my visit. It was just a case of getting and going home through it. It was cruel every day. I was not raised after that, “Nair said.Seven years down from the line, he is again on the English coast. He has returned his way with a pile of runs – it should be in domestic cricket or during his two county stents.His flexibility is also given by the current Team India coach Gautam Gambhir.“It does not matter-the important thing-the important thing is that sometimes-sometimes not, sometimes, sometimes there is nothing that you have got back in the team. It’s something that is inspiring for the whole world,” Gambhir said in a video on BCCI TV.
