Nair Didn’t Perform Well In So Many Games, Was Very Lucky To Make A Comeback, Says Mishra
A major talking point has been the exclusion of Karun Nair, once a triple-centurion in Tests and got a second chance to don the whites in the drawn 2-2 series in England. But Nair, 33, scored 205 runs in eight innings in England with a best score of 57 in the final game at The Oval, was left out for the West Indies series, with left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal coming into the team.
Amit Mishra, the former India leg-spinner, was unequivocal in his assessment of Nair’s omission and Padikkal’s inclusion, with B Sai Sudharsan also retaining his place in the team. “He (Nair) was given a chance. I will say that he was very lucky to make a comeback in the Indian team at the age of 32, 33 or 34. It was an opportunity for him to do well. He played so many matches, but did not perform well.”
