Karun Nair Champions Trophy 2025: Indian batsman Karun Nair is batting brilliantly these days in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He has scored 752 runs in 7 innings out of 8 matches of the tournament at an average of 752. After this brilliant performance, it was expected that he might get a place in Team India for the Champions Trophy 2025 or the ODI series against England, but it did not happen.

Nair has scored 5 centuries and 1 half-century in 7 matches of Vijay Hazare Trophy. His highest score is 163 runs. Out of these 7 innings, Nair has been out only once. Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar also praised Nair. He wrote in his X post, "Karun Nair is extraordinary to score 752 runs with 5 centuries in 7 innings. Such performance requires focus and hard work. Always be strong and make every opportunity count."
