Karun Nair’s Emotional Tweet Goes Viral After Jaydev Unadkat Recalled To Indian Team For IND vs BAN Tests
New Delhi: India batter Karun Nair grabbed a lot of eyeballs after he smashed a blazing triple ton against England in his debut series in 2017. In the final match of the three-match series, Nair whacked an unbeaten 303 to lead India to a win by an innings and 75 runs.
Nair became the fastest batter to smash a triple ton in terms of the number of matches played. After such highs, Nair would have expected to be a regular member of the Test team but that was not the case to be as the doors of the Indian team was shut on him after a poor series against Australia. Nair played his last Test for India in 2017 and ODI in June 2016.
Team India is set to take on Bangladesh in a two-match series and pacer Jaydev Unadkat has been recalled to the team after a gap of 12 years. Post Jaydev’s inclusion in the team, Unadkat’s old tweet about getting one more chance in the Indian team went viral. “Dear red ball, give me one more chance, read the tweet.
Similarly, an old tweet of Karun Nair is also going viral on social media. In the tweet made in December 2010, Karun Nair pleaded for one more opportunity in the team. “Dear cricket, give me one more chance”, he wrote.
Dear cricket, give me one more chance.????????

Nair, a middle order batter, has fallen back in the pack with the emergence of players like Shubman Gill, Hanuma Vihari, Shreyas Iyer and despite senior players like Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara getting dropped at times, Nair was not considered for a place in the Indian team. However, he is still 31 and an opportunity in the Indian team again cannot be counted out if he can deliver some big performances in domestic cricket.
