IND vs Eng: ‘I don’t want me to take that place a year ago’ – Karun Nair before the first test against England. Cricket news

New Delhi: In recent years, his Bradmanskue in domestic cricket has reconciled with the most challenging phase of his career, but Karun Nair identified the “end of 2022”, as he is the most dark period as he is “quite dark place.Eight years later, the 33 -year -old return in the Indian Test team is in the form of a powerful will for his flexibility and determination.“, I would say, it was a very dark place in the end of 2022. Very emotional phase for me. I think it’s the difficult time for me. Even harder than 2018, or whatever it was, whenever he was,” Nair said during a conversation with R Ashwin on the latter YouTube channel.Apart from Virender Sehwag, India’s only triple-sermon in Test cricket is now on the verge of a remarkable return.On Friday, there is a strong chance that he will be part of India’s play for the first Test against England in Headingly, Leeds.Although he has become stronger, Nair says that he never wants to see the painful period again when he struggled to understand why he was dropped from the Indian team soon after scoring a historic triple century against England in 2016.“No, I don’t want to be where I was a few years ago, quite honestly.”He said, “I think at least I am very grateful at this time, as you have said, I have given the past to the complaining platform. It is very grateful to be in this situation that I am and I treat every day that is given to me, and I am living my life and I am doing what I love.

“I am very grateful to all those who have been a part of my journey at least in the last 2-3 years. I have understood to give importance to things. I have given importance to every moment and just consider every day as a new day.”Nair admitted that when he was dropped from the Indian team, he was surprised by the lack of communication.“Honestly, I could not understand what was happening. Because after 300 in Chennai, after the Australia series, I think the next series was in Sri Lanka in 2017.“I was not part of that squad. And since then, I could not understand what was happening. Then I had to go back to domestic cricket.”Looking back, Nair believes that a strong performance against Australia secured its place.“I had no clue what was happening. I knew that my name was not there. I could not understand how it was not.“But if I look back and think that one of my side says ‘Yes, I don’t get too much opportunity’. The second way I think there are four innings that I played against Australia, and I started something.“If I had only turned those people into a big score, I might not have been in this position or would have to go through it.”When asked about his mentality during that difficult phase, Nair recalled: “Just find out how I should go about things and what I should do.”“Obviously, I was too young at that time and perhaps it could not control what was going on in my head as if I am able to do today. So, basically, just trying so much to get a confused mind and back so much that I think I was still getting worse.“But I had a great season in domestic cricket that year and I was said in the 2018 season as I came back. And then, went back there. There were not many opportunities. ,Out of the Indian side, Nair said that the support he received from his state team, Karnataka was invaluable.“I think there has always been a great bond among the players in Karnataka. Because we all played together for a very young age. And we all made grades at the same time, if I can say so.“So, there was always support. There was no one, you know, lacks that support. He has always said good things. He always knew the player that I was. Therefore, I always had the least trust with the players in the Karnataka team.“So, to go back there, it felt like a family again. And of course, it was not a great season. But it happens to anyone, I think. And yes, it just felt everyone or everyone supported me.“As I said, it’s like a family. And everyone was taking care of me. And they never put any improper pressure on me, ‘Oh, I was not scoring’ or no one really came to me,” Nair said.
