Karun Nair and Sachin Tendulkar
Team India has not yet announced the team for Champions Trophy 2025. Before the tournament, the names of many players are being discussed heavily. Karun Nair’s name is also included in these. Karun Nair is scoring runs in domestic cricket and is getting a lot of praise. Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar’s statement on Karun Nair has come.
Batting great Sachin Tendulkar on Friday termed the achievement of Karun Nair, who scored a flurry of runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, as ‘no less than extraordinary’ and expressed hope from the Vidarbha captain to ‘continue’ this streak. Nair has been performing brilliantly in India’s top 50-over domestic competition. He has scored 752 runs in 7 innings with five centuries and one half-century. During this period his average has also been 752 runs.
Sachin gave great advice to Nair
Tagging Nair, Sachin Tendulkar wrote on ‘X’ that scoring 752 runs with five centuries in 7 innings is nothing less than extraordinary. He wrote that such demonstrations do not happen just like that. Such performances come from extreme focus and hard work. Stay strong and take advantage of every opportunity.
Tendulkar praised Nair’s performance at a time when the Ajit Agarkar-led national selection committee is scheduled to meet in Mumbai to pick the Indian team for the Champions Trophy and ODI series against England. Due to Nair’s brilliant performance, Vidarbha team has reached the final of the tournament, where it will face Karnataka on Saturday. Nair is only the second batsman for the Indian team after Virender Sehwag to score a triple century in Tests.
Still eager to play for India
It is noteworthy that after writing a despairing social media post about three years ago, Karun Nair made a spectacular comeback on the cricket field and scored five centuries in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He said that after eight years the dream of wearing the India jersey is still growing within him.
