Why didn't Karun get a chance?
Fans looked a little disappointed when Karun Nair did not get a place in Team India for the Champions Trophy. Now Sunil Gavaskar, while talking to Sports, said, βWhere should he be fitted? You could have replaced KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. KL will play the role of second wicketkeeper-batsman for this team and his performance was good during the 2023 World Cup. I don't think the Indian cricket team has played much ODI cricket after that. Shreyas Iyer has also performed well in this format. This is the reason why Karun Nair was not selected.β
