On this Day: The day 6th December brings a string of players from the Indian contingent who celebrate their birthdays including Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Karun Nair
Two-year-old video by KXIP and K’taka Ranji cricket surfaces again on social media after KL Rahul inflicts 97-run defeat on his former side with 69-ball 132.
Indian batsman Karun Nair, who plays for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL, had tested positive for coronavirus recently and has since recovered.
KL Rahul will return for Karnataka when the side takes on Bengal in the semifinal of the Ranji Trophy.
Indian batsman Karun Nair has said that he's solely focussing on the Ranji Trophy season with Karnataka.
Karun, who had scored 99 and 166 not out in the previous game against India Blue, picked up 14 fours during his enterprising knock. The other opener Abhimanyu Easwaran was retired hurt.
Karun Nair hit an unbeaten 166 for India Red before their Duleep Trophy match against India Blue ended in a draw on Monday.
Karun is part of a long list of famous Indian cricketers who have tied the knot in the past two years, which also includes captain Virat Kohli.
Pandey (87) and Nair (61) shared an unbeaten 129-run partnership for the fifth wicket in just 24.5 overs on the fourth and final day to help Karnataka chase down a tricky 184-run victory target.
Chasing the target, Karnataka were 45 for three in 18 overs at stumps, with Test discard Karun Nair and Ronit More, batting on 18 and five.
The young batsman called on the services of the legend to prepare for his toughest Test yet.
It has been learnt that from now on, every selection meeting will be followed by a press conference to ensure that the media doesn't draw conjectures about the selection policy.
It is learnt that both Vijay and Nair have "breached the clause" for the centrally contracted cricketers and it has neither gone down well with the selection committee nor the BCCI brass.
With veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh also criticising the "parameters of selection", the under-fire Prasad has been on a clarification spree of late.
Despite scoring a triple-hundred Nair was not included in the playing XI for the next match. He also did not get the chance in the England tour and warmed the bench throughout the series.
Nair's exclusion from the two-Test squad for the home series against the West Indies triggered a controversy as he was dropped despite warming the bench through the five-Test series against England.
After spending time on the bench for six consecutive Test matches against Afghanistan and England, the selectors dropped Karun Nair for the West Indies Test series.
Dropped without getting a game in England, Karun Nair's exclusion from the home Tests against West Indies has baffled quite a few but chairman of selectors MSK Prasad said the player himself has been explained the reasons.
It is widely believed that the Indian team management were not happy with Karun's inclusion in the Test set-up.
West Indies are slated to play two Tests, five ODIs and three T20Is in a seven-week-long tour, with the 1st Test commencing from October 4 at Rajkot.
