IND vs ENG: Average of 664, 5 centuries in six matches…, this player's place confirmed in the ODI series!

Karun Nair: Indian cricketer Karun Nair is definitely in the best form of his career at the moment. The 33-year-old cricketer has scored a ton of runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, where he has scored not one or two but five centuries in six innings. The great thing is that so far in this entire tournament, he has been out only once, due to which his average has become 664.

Can Nair fit perfectly in the middle order?

Not only the ODI series, Nair also seems fit for the Test series to be held against England after the World Test Championship, where he can strengthen the middle order of the team. Nair has scored 289 runs at an average of 48 in 4 matches so far in this Ranji Trophy season. With the second stage of the tournament starting on January 23, it will be interesting to see whether he can continue his excellent form or not.
