On a tough day for India’s batting, Karun Nair played a composed innings in the 5th Test, showing patience and maturity.
After eight years of waiting and struggling to return, Karun had low scores in the first three Tests, raising doubts about his future.
Dropped for the fourth Test, Karun returned in the 5th after India needed a proper batter in place of injured Rishabh Pant.
India were in trouble at 123 for 5. Karun walked in with the ball swinging and conditions challenging, but stayed calm and focused.
Having played county cricket in England, Karun used that experience to tackle swing and seam, batting with confidence and smart shot selection.
At stumps on Day 1, Karun Nair was not out on 52 runs from 98 balls with 4 fours. A calm and composed innings that gave India much-needed stability.
