Senior Batter Karun Nair admitted that his greatest frustration during his long -awaited return to the Indian test team was his inability to turn promising starts into a significant score in a recently closed series of five matches against England. Nair remembered the National Party seven years after a row of highly productive domestic seasons, but could not replicate this form at the highest level.
Nair, playing your first test in 3,006 daysHe returned to the XI for the operator of the series in Headingley in Leeds. In the first shifts, however, he was released on the duck and in the second followed it with 20 when India slipped to slaughter.
Karnataka dough showed the views of the form in Birmingham and Lord’s, where he started in both matches, but could not build on them again. The 33 -year -old man was omitted from the XI for the fourth test in Manchester, just to return for the fifth and replaced Sai Sudharsan.
Nair responded by fighting fifty in the first shifts in the oval But only 17 managed in the second when India needed stability. The series completed 205 runs out of four matches on average 25.62.
“It wasn’t like I’m trying to prove something. Sometimes you start in most games and then find a way to get out. That was for me in England,” Nair PTI said.
When Nair thought about the campaign, he said that the most important lesson he took, it was necessary to turn the beginning into a big knock – something he had already discussed with coaches and close friends.
“I launched well throughout the series and got up to the 30th and 40 years, but I just couldn’t push. It was more frustrating for me than anyone else. I was wondering why it happened why I was constantly getting out after the setup.”
“The only lesson I took is to ensure that I get the beginnings I get. I talked about it with many people and took their designs. Soon I will work to start next time, I can convert it,” he added.
Doesn’t look too far forward
When Nair was omitted from the XI for the fourth test, it seemed as if his second shift in the international cricket could suddenly end. His half -century in the final test, however, gave him a chance to stay in the competition before the home season.
India is ready to host Western India in October, followed by South Africa in November. There are also two India series arranged against the visit of Australia and South Africa, where Nair can take into account.
Experienced dough, however, does not allow to look too far forward.
“I don’t mean too far forward. I take it every day, work on my game and learning from the last series. Over time, we’ll see what happens,” he said.
“For me, it is about improvement every day – both in terms of skills and in terms of fitness,” he added.
Nair also expressed the confidence that the new generation of Indian players would shine in the ongoing cycle of the World Championship in 2025–27, which began in England with the Morale series.
Indian young weapons, including the new captain of SHUBMAN GILL, Yashsvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant, were impressed next to seniors such as Kl Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.
“Yes, we did a strong start. We played well throughout the series, but it is important to maintain this momentum, continue what we did directly against England, and improve in areas where we need.”
“We, as players, try to improve every day and hopefully we can do well in this cycle,” Nair said.
