Destiny's Child Karun Finds Way Back to Tests
Hindustan Times Patna
|May 26, 2025
Only months after a near-death experience when the boat he was travelling in capsized, Karun Nair lived an absolute high in cricket, becoming only the second Indian to hit a triple hundred in Tests in 2016.
MUMBAI: Early in his career, he would thus familiarise with the wheels of fortune.
Nair's journey has ever since been intertwined with the quirks of fate. It was time for a positive turn again for the Nair household on Saturday after the middle-order batter, 33, was recalled into the Indian team for the five-Test series against England.
It's been eight long years since Nair played his last Test. Seven years since he last featured in an Indian Test squad, on the 2018 England tour where he never got to play, and was abandoned. His career nosedived. "Dear cricket, give me one more chance," Nair's despair came out in a social media post in December 2022.
