So easy to make Bumrah angry, Karun Nair’s batting was effortless, smooth and the years of practice that you go and practice in domestic cricket, domestic cricket refines you, makes you better, it was visible from the very first ball, be it a cover drive Or whether it was to bowl in front or to hit Bumrah on the off, all the shots played by Karun Nair were praiseworthy, then that means if Bumrah wanted, he could have avoided it, but the fight that happened was because Bumrah got frustrated, Karun Nair accidentally touched Bumrah while running and Karun Nair apologized, but Bumrah returned angrily and shouted something, it was because this batting was soothing to the eyes, it was soothing and this is what Hardik was also saying that the way the batting was, it was the hard work of years, praise for him was written by Padikkal from RCB, great player, meaning a player who was dropped from the Indian cricket team, he was also dropped from Ranji, he was dropped from IPL, the player who had scored 300 runs after Sehwag, when that player makes a comeback, people get emotional and it feels personal, Karun Nair’s success today seemed personal, Delhi did not win, that’s why we were feeling bad, by the way would you have won if you had If you had bet on Delhi, you would not have won.
Years of Hard Work in the Shadows:-
If you are supporting Mumbai, if you are a Mumbai fan, you would have won. No problem, there is a chance tomorrow too. Lucknow is playing against CSK.

Selectors, Take Note: Karun Nair Deserves a National Comeback:-
Trent Boult and Bumrah are not any other bowlers, they are big bowlers and Karun Nair made batting so simple in front of them. So think this form should not be wasted. Karun Nair should be taken and Karun Nair should get exposure. In international cricket, Sidhu paaji had rightly said that who saw the Jungle Nemor Nacha, Karun Nair was performing continuously for some time, but articles were coming in the newspapers, people were not watching him bat, today people saw beautiful batting, saw every shot, enjoyed it, sympathies arose for Karun Nair, love came and when love comes from the public it transforms into PR and when it comes, the player shines.
Domestic Cricket: The Foundation of Karun’s Comeback:-
Karun Nair’s success also tells that how good it is to play domestic cricket, how important it is, mean 89 in 40 balls was amazing, it was amazing, if He Was Lone Warrior had scored a century, it would have been even more amazing, the Bumrah one, especially four, six, four, six, double mean it is an iconic movement a half century in 22 balls, 89 in 40 balls, 12 fours, five sixes, one man show, Karun Nair after 7 years He scored 50 runs, the entire Kotla stadium stood up and applauded Karun Nair, and he should be beaten It was his first match in 2025. He came as an impact player. He was not played in the last few matches. After that, he scored a century and beat Bumrah. By the way, Karun Nair has been doing well consistently since 204.
One-Man Show: Karun’s Iconic Knock:-
He had 863 runs in Ranji at an average of 53. In Vijay Hazare, he scored seven out of eight matches with an average of almost 400. He played well there as well. He played brilliantly in Syed Mustaq Ali. His strike rate was also brilliant. He played well in one match in IPL as well. So, Karun Nair has given a statement.
Now, if you don’t play Karun Nair, then this is a matter of Indian cricket. Karun Nair sahab, don’t do politics, friend. He has worked hard and should be rewarded for his hard work. Think Karun Nair and Sai Sudarshan are the two players who deserve a place in India’s Test team. These two players are in the Indian test team and deserve a place, and if you don’t play them now, then when will you play them? Karun Nair got less chances earlier as well, if BCCI had backed him properly, had guided him, then no
player would have become anonymous after scoring 300, so let’s just hope Karun makes a comeback in India
