Harbhajan Singh questions non-selection of Karun Nair: After Virender Sehwag, Karun Nair, who created a sensation by scoring a triple century in Test, is once again in the center of discussions. Nair recently broke the world record in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and is the batsman who has scored the most runs in consecutive matches in List A. Karun Nair is performing consistently in domestic cricket, but still he is not getting a place in the Indian team. In such a situation, Harbhajan Singh has raised questions regarding his non-selection.
Indian team’s batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have flopped miserably on the Australian tour. In such a situation, many veterans are of the opinion that these two senior players should play domestic cricket. But Harbhajan raised questions on the selectors and said that injustice has been done to Nair.
Harbhajan Singh in his Youtube channel But said, “The figures of 2024-2025 are that seven matches have been played, the guy is not out five times in six innings and there are 664 runs, 163 is the highest, do you know what the average is? 664 is the average and 120 The strike rate of 5 centuries is in the name of the guy, it is unfair, the guy is not taken anywhere.
Karun Nair had performed brilliantly in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Before this he had performed brilliantly in Ranji Trophy. But still he has not got a place in the team. When Harbhajan was asked whether anyone can get a place in the team after just five matches, Harbhajan said, many people get selected in the team after only two matches. Many people get it from IPL, so why are the rules different for this.”
Harbhajan further said about Nair, “You say, okay friend, Rohit is not in form, Virat is not in form, he is not in form, so-and-so is not in form, send them to play Ranji. The guy who is playing Ranji is there. You are not taking runs, you are saying send Rohit, send so and so, then when will these boys play? Will play.”
Harbhajan further said, “He is only 33 years old, if your opinion is different from mine then you tell me what will you do if you are a selector, will you take it or not.” “I don’t understand that the guy scored 300 runs, became the first Indian after Viru (Virender Sehwag) to score 300 runs, but then got dropped.”
Harbhajan said, “Different rules for different people, this should not happen.” “It takes courage in a person to show all these things and take those chances that yes, the boy who is not performing, you let someone else come. Rest of the things these boys are doing, they have also gone and played Ranji Trophy. They have scored runs. Now come back, you will feed me somewhere, what does it mean that he does not know how to wear clothes, that is why he is in the team. What’s wrong, he’s not hard-working.”
If media reports are to be believed, the Indian team is going through a phase of change and senior players like Rohit-Kohli are struggling in Test matches, hence Karun is a player on whom the selectors are keeping a close eye.
