Dinesh Karthik feels that Indian selectioners gave Karun Nair a clear message that they move from him after the dough from the Indian Group for the test series Western India was abandoned. Karun got a second chance with the Indian team during England Tour, but could not earn him. In four matches Karun scored 205 runs and hit only one fifty.
It forced the hands of selectors when they decided to drop from the 33 -year -old from the party. Karthik, when he spoke to Cricbuzz, said he was difficult for the karuna, but he claimed that he would even admit that he could score more runs in several shifts. The former Wicketkeeper further said that if Karun had played the West Indies series, he would have runs, but he said that selectors are now looking at young people.
“The fact that Karun Nair is no longer looked at him means that they are moving from him, which is very hard on him. I think he played in one of the most difficult series on hard playgrounds. “Because in the last test he got 50 on a heavy playground,” Karthik said.
“I can promise to you that if he played this series, he would get runs. It’s almost given, the way he detonates. The fact is that they say,” Big series, we have the opportunity and he didn’t give. So we move to someone young for the future “.”
Karun came to the team because Padikkal was injured
Devdutt Padikkal came to the side to replace Karun and Karthik the feeling that this step is justified. The former goalkeeper claimed that Southpaw would be on the side of England, not if his injuries.
“I really feel that Devdutt gets the opportunity is a good thing because he has 80 in Australia (for India last year) has skills because Australia is very difficult to play and he got there. And the English series last year, got 50 in Dharamsale. Karthik.
