'Calling Me And Saying You Need To Retire': Karun Nair Reveals Discouraging Advice From Prominent Indian Cricketer
Vijay Hazare Trophy: India batter Karun Nair, who is on a comeback trail to the red-ball team after a hiatus of eight years, made a shocking revelation that a prominent Indian cricketer advised him to retire and shift focus entirely to T20 leagues to ensure financial stability.
The 33-year-old made his Test debut against England in Mohali in 2016 and went on to hit an unbeaten 303 in his third Test in Chennai, grabbing eyeballs. However, after that historic knock, he only played three home Tests against Australia in 2017 before being dropped from the team due to a series of low scores.
"I still remember a prominent Indian cricketer calling me and saying you need to retire because the money in these leagues would make me secure. It would have been easy to do but I knew that regardless of the money, I would be kicking myself for giving up that easily," Nair said in an interview with Daily Mail.
