“My first idea was every day, I want to play again test cricket for India. This faith kept me running. It was the driving force to go to training, exercise every day.” He said he felt real when he entered the dressing room. “When I saw everyone for the first time, it hit me then – I’m back.”Quiz: Who is the IPL player? When Nair thought about his mental growth, he said, “I became more patient and forgiving myself. I learned to enjoy small things and I am not trying to be someone I am not.” This time there is also a feeling of comfort in the dressing room. “Playing alongside KL and Prasidh, the people I grew up with causes this return to feel more strange.” India begins a new cycle of the World Championship in the World Cup without Virt Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin. The team is younger, the management is new and the stage is ready for players like Nair to get a second chance. “Hi, this is Karun Nair and I’m ready to go,” he signed in in the video. After 2,763 days his moment finally came.
