Nair excited to grab the opportunity with both hands on England tour

India batter Karun Nair, who is making his comeback to the red-ball team after a hiatus of eight years, is excited to make the most of the opportunity in the upcoming five-match Test series against England starting on June 20.

Nair has been in phenomenal form and struck a double ton against the England Lions in the first unofficial Test at Canterbury. In the recently concluded IPL 2025 season, he played eight matches for Delhi Capitals and amassed 198 runs, including a half-century.

The 33-year-old made his Test debut against England in Mohali in 2016 and he went on to hit an unbeaten 303 in his third Test in Chennai and grabbed eyeballs. However, after that historic knock, he only played three home Tests against Australia in 2017 before being dropped from the team due to a series of low scores.
