It seems like the Indian opener Karun Nair has been given a fresh start in his cricket career, as he is once again making headlines for all the right reasons. Out of the Indian team since 2017, he is now making a strong case for a comeback. Despite the 33-year-old performing exceptionally well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, Karun Nair was not selected for the Champions Trophy. Thus, fans will have to wait a bit longer for his return to the national team. Until then, we can look forward to seeing him in the Indian Premier League (IPL). After being unsold in the IPL 2024, he was picked up in the IPL 2025 auction, giving him an opportunity to showcase his talent in the upcoming season.
