Karun Nair makes a strong statement for a place in the India playing XI

The 33-year-old dynamic top-order batter, who earned a recall to the Indian Test side on the merit of a stupendous domestic season after last donning the whites eight years back in 2017, has made a strong statement for his inclusion in the India Playing XI.

Especially with the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the longest format, there is a massive void in the Indian batting lineup and this is where Nair can step up, given his sheer experience.

It remains to be seen at which position Karun Nair bats for India, given that Sai Sudharsan is also in the fray but either way, Nair will shoulder a lot of batting responsibilities when the main series starts.
