IND vs ENG call up pipe dream as Karun Nair’s IPL 2025 slide continues

Karun Nair’s hopes of making the squad for the IND vs ENG continue to fade away with yet another poor show with the bat in IPL 2025. Nair started off with a bang, but his form has since tapered off, including a low score in the DC vs KKR clash on Tuesday.

Such was his form, a comeback to the Indian team was the talk in Indian cricket circles. He backed those calls with a stunning 89 off 40 against Mumbai Indians early in the season. However, since that exceptional knock, Karun has struggled to convert his starts. In his next 5 innings, the Vidarbha ace has gone past 20 only once, faili...

And less than a year later, he made his international debut as well. So when he heaps praise on Suryvanshi, he speaks from ...
