🏏 Karun Nair’s Comeback Sparks India’s No. 4 Debate Ahead of T20 World Cup
In a twist that has cricket fans buzzing, Karun Nair’s sensational return to the Indian squad has reignited the long-standing debate over India’s No. 4 batting position — a puzzle that has plagued the national team in ICC tournaments for years.
Nair, who last played an international game in 2020, returned to domestic and IPL cricket this season with a flurry of consistent performances. His elegant stroke play, calm demeanor under pressure, and ability to anchor the innings caught the eye of selectors, earning him a spot in the preliminary squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
While India boasts a wealth of batting talent, including the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, and Sanju Samson, Karun’s technical finesse and recent form make a compelling case. Former India opener Aakash Chopra weighed in, saying, “Karun brings stability to a very aggressive top order. He could be the missing link India needs in the middle.”
With just weeks left for the global tournament, the team management faces a selection headache — one that might define India’s fate on the world stage.
Whether Karun Nair cements his place or not, one thing is clear: competition for India’s middle order has never been more intense.
