3 reasons why Karun Nair can be the X Factor player for India against England

3 reasons why Karun Nair can be the X Factor player for India against England

It’s been a very long wait, but cricket has finally given star batter Karun Nair another chance to be on the Indian team. Eight years after his sudden disappearance from the team despite his triple century against England on home turf, Karun Nair has earned a perfect spot on the team against England.

This time, he has set his place in the Indian Test team, and as the big day nears, with clear signs, we might see him playing XI in the series opening match, slated to take place on June 20th at Leeds. Given below are the three reasons why Karun Nair can be an X factor for Team India in the forthcoming series against Ben Stokes and his men.

Ability to play long innings

Nair is currently one of the best batters on the team. The Indian dasher has performed well in the unofficial Test match against England. The star batter can boost the top order and middle order of the game. The 33-year-old cricketer can play long innings in a Test match, which can boost the batting attack of the Indian team. The side truly banks on him for runs, and he must be aiming to live up to the expectations.

Good record against England

The star batter possesses vast experience playing in England. The stylish right-handed batter has made 487 runs in just seven matches in the County Club Experience, featuring a stellar double century. His good performance in England will be crucial for the Indian team. He is expected to continue his form in the forthcoming Test series.

Performance against England A

Karun has once again made the bold headlines with his performance against England A. The 33-year-old cricketer made a double century last week against the England Lions in the first unofficial Test match in Canterbury. His comeback for the Indian A was the result of consistent performances in a domestic circuit and a strong county stint. His performance against England A gives him much-needed confidence heading into this five-match Test series.
