Karun Nair made a comeback to the Indian Test squad after eight years, following an impressive run in domestic cricket. However, the 33-year-old has failed to make an impact on his return, going without a single fifty in the first three Tests. He was unable to capitalize on his starts and convert them into big scores.
The 33-year-old returned to the Test setup after eight years but managed only 131 runs in six innings at an average of under 22. He recorded scores of 0 & 20 at Headingley, 31 & 26 in Birmingham, and 40 & 14 at Lord’s.
Sai Sudharsan, who featured in the opening Test at Leeds (scoring 0 and 30), has replaced Nair for the Manchester Test after missing the previous two matches.

However, India fell short during their chase of 193 on the final day of the third Test at Lord’s, losing the match by 22 runs. The visitors now need a win in the fourth Test at Manchester to keep the series alive.

Karun Nair’s disappointing performances might have ended his Test career. The team management seems to have made up its mind, given the intense competition for spots in the Indian lineup.

Feel for Karun Nair that he's been dropped but for him to make a comeback once again from here will be very difficult. He should feel lucky that he got to play 3 Test matches and I think maybe that was it.#KarunNair #ENGvIND #INDvsENG pic.twitter.com/7dATrwhsm8

If Karun has played his last test then Dinesh Karthik and Karun Nair have a similarity comeback after 8 years in test cricket and final test at lords.
