One Hundred Percent I Think I Can Make National Comeback, Says Karun Nair
Karun Nair: After a one-season hiatus from domestic cricket, Vidarbha batter Karun Nair has made a resounding return, showcasing his talent and resilience on the field. Nair's journey back to the pitch was marked by challenges and uncertainties, as he candidly admitted to the difficulty of watching from the sidelines while others played.
Nair, who came out to bat in the 20th over on day four of the Ranji final against Vidarbha, built his inning riding on patience, resolute defense, and occasional aggression, as he anchored Vidarbha's resistance. Despite surviving a few close calls, Nair held his ground, frustrating the Mumbai bowlers with his solid technique. His eventual dismissal, though, provided a glimmer of hope for Mumbai.
Seven overs into the second new ball, Musheer eventually got him out when he got one to zip over and kiss Nair's outside edge on its way to the wicketkeeper. Nair played 240 balls and only hit three fours in his innings of 74 as visitors ended the day on 248 for 5, still 290 runs away from the 538 target
