The domestic stallwart has not yet got big runs at number 3 in England, causing dilemma for the team before the Old Trafford Test.London: Karun Nair and Sai Reformson have been batting together in the adjacent net, in the last three weeks. Every time they take the guard, taking care of the session with head coach Gautam Gambhir, it appears that they are auditioning for a place in the playing XI.

Nair, who is playing in that situation, has started civilized, but big runs have not come yet. His shot-making looks good at times but he also looks weak.The team management went to number 3 in the first Test with good governance, in which Nair batted at number 6. He had to sacrifice one of them for another test to accommodate an additional utility all -rounder to lengthen the batting order. Except Nair at number 3, all regular batsmen have been good.Nair’s run shortage is a dilemma for the team, even though Captain Shubman Gill claimed that he has an XII, perhaps a sign of replacement for one of the fast bowlers. No captain would like to tinker so many times with a combination of the game.
“We are good for Karun’s rhythm and tempo. We want more than number 3 runs. But the message is mainly, let’s really focus on what we have done good and clarified small things costing our results,” India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Dochet said after the team’s practice session in Becanum.Apparently, 131 runs in number 3 to six innings in the best position of batting in England do not inspire confidence. Late on the fourth day in the third Test, Nair’s dismissal increased the pace of sports in England’s favor.Does Nair stay with Nair and re -choosing for the fourth Test needs to make important decisions and team management now. They have been vocal about rewarding those who have done well in domestic cricket. At the age of 33, Nair is India’s most vast batsman on domestic cricket in recent times, with nine centuries in a season. Reforms want to invest strictly in future Indian cricket.Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta, who is a broadcaster here, said that the team will have to call on how they want to treat Nair in the upcoming fourth test in Manchester.Dasgupta told TOI, “Taking me either plays it in the rest of the tests and see that when we play at the next house, she can remain, or good governance should live in this test itself (in the Old Trafford) and stay with him,” Dasgupta told TOI.“I think he is not giving his wicket immediately and setting up some kind of foundation for the middle order, which was not in Australia. But a number 3 should be able to bat 60-70 overs instead of arresting just a slide,” he said.The argument in Indian cricket circles suggests that Nair was preferred on the basis of his experience. Furthermore, it does not make sense to take Nair in the squad at this age if he was going to be another choice.Former national selector Devang Gandhi, who selected Nair in 2016, said, “The tour may be a little harsh for Nair. He has seen a little outside. It is important to reward domestic performances. But Shreyas Iyer was performed in domestic matches with Iyer. Iyer Has said continuously international cricket and IPL.”“It seems that it is late at delivery that is bowled quickly. The team management will have to take a call if they want to play it in both tests. If they do not get big runs in this test, it would be inappropriate to leave them the next man too, “Gandhi said.The weather forecast in Manchester next week states that it will be injured and wind. Conditions against the new ball may be a bit challenging. The team management will have to call on whether they want to change a batting lineup, which has scored big runs in three of the last four innings.
