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.
On IndiaTV's show 'Cricket ki Baat', Virender Sehwag said that the two greats would feel very happy if Kohli goes on to break their records on the current England tour.
The match gives the think-tank an opportunity to check on some of the key components in their combination before the series against England.
If Nair makes the playing eleven, it will be his first international appearance since the Test against Australia in March last year.
Prasad, a former India stumper, once again made it clear that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the best wicketkeeper-batsman that India has at the moment.
Karnataka middle-order batsman Karun Nair on Tuesday replaced skipper Virat Kohli for the one-off Test against Afghanistan from June 14-18 in Bengaluru, making an unexpected comeback to the squad. Ajinkya Rahane will be leading India in the historic
Mayank Agarwal continued his record-breaking form in the domestic season as his 79-ball 90 set up the foundation for Karnataka’s 41-run win against Saurashtra in the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Tuesday.
During December 2016, Karun was the new batting sensation with a Test triple hundred under his belt and by December 2017, he was nowhere in the vicinity of the Indian team in any format.
