(Image Source: KSCA) Veteran batsman Karun Nair’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. However, he has not been seen playing for the Indian team for a long time. Karun Nair is currently participating in the Maharaj Trophy KSCA T20 2024. He has batted brilliantly in this tournament so far and has won the hearts of all the fans. Karun Nair told Sportskeeda during an exclusive conversation, ‘It feels great that this tournament has started again. All the players like to play at home and it is very close to my heart. I have many memories associated with Chinnaswamy Stadium. I started my cricketing career from here. When I went to Vidarbha from Karnataka in domestic cricket, everyone welcomed me very well. It felt like I have come back to my family after a long time. We performed very well and the team reached the finals. We could not win the finals but the performance of all the players was tremendous throughout the season. Hopefully, we will want to continue this performance in the future as well. Joining Vidarbha from Karnataka was a very different thing because both the states are very different but they did not let me feel like that. The best batsman made a big revelation about participating for Northamptonshire In the last season of the County Championship, Karun Nair was seen playing for Northamptonshire. He scored 249 runs in three matches in Division One at an average of 83. Not only this, this brilliant player scored 150 runs against Surrey. Nair further said, ‘It was a huge opportunity and every batsman wants to bat well in English conditions. This experience was really great. Ranji Trophy was really different because there was a difference in both the conditions and the ball. Everything was new here. I have scored some double centuries. I did the same this year too. It was my target to score 200 in the season and not 300 because everyone talks about my triple century against England. I hope my target is different in the next season. It is very important to keep progressing in your game and keep performing better as a player. I am also eager to make a comeback in the Indian team. However, before that it is very important for me to perform well in domestic cricket as well. For this, I will have to play different shots and also learn them. I just want to become better than before this year. My coach and RX sir have supported me a lot.

5 Indian players who played only one T20 match in their international career
Such is the impact of T20 cricket that several players have retired from ODIs and Tests to focus solely on the 20-over format. Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag (Image Source: AFP) T20 cricket is slowly ruling the cricket world. Every country has domestic T20 leagues and this is because the shorter format is more thrilling and entertaining. Viewers get to see the thrill of a cricket match in just three and a half hours, which makes the shortest format even more attractive for fans. The impact of T20 cricket is such that many players have retired from ODIs and Tests to focus only on the 20-over format. However, on the other hand, there are players who were able to play only a few T20 matches in their career. Today we will talk about such Indian players whose first T20 match was also their last match. 5 Indian players who have played only one T20 match 1. Dinesh Mongia Chandigarh-born Dinesh Mongia played his only T20I match for India against South Africa in 2006. He played 57 ODIs and scored 38 runs in his T20I debut batting at No. 3. He faced 45 balls and helped India get close to the target of 127 runs before getting dismissed by Robin Peterson. However, Mongia was not selected for the 2007 T20 World Cup and his IPL career did not last long. This ended his T20 international career after just one match. 2. Murali Karthik Murali Kartik played his only T20 match against Australia in 2007. He made his place in the team by performing brilliantly in the domestic series. In his debut T20 match, he gave 27 runs in 4 overs, but could not take any wicket. India won that match, but Karthik could not make a comeback in the T20 team. Later he continued his career as a cricket expert and commentator. Murali Karthik also played for 4 IPL franchises during his career. 3. Karan Sharma Karn Sharma played his only T20 match against England in 2014. He was included in the national team after performing brilliantly for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. In his debut match, he took the important wicket of Joe Root by giving 28 runs in 4 overs. However, India lost that match by 3 runs and Karn Sharma never got a chance in the T20 team again. Currently, Karn’s leg spin has not been as effective, which has reduced his chances of returning to the Indian team. 4. Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid, famously known as ‘The Wall’ of the Indian team, played his first and only T20 match in 2012. This match was against England, in which Rahul was included in the team due to injured players. Rahul Dravid silenced his critics by scoring 31 runs in this match and hitting three consecutive sixes. Despite his innings played at a strike rate of 147.61, India lost the match. Dravid’s T20 career ended after this one match. 5. Sachin Tendulkar Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, also played only one T20 match in…

Since this series, Shikhar Dhawan has not got a place in the Indian team. Now after Shikhar Dhawan, there are some other experienced players who can retire from international cricket. Today we tell you about three such Indian batsmen who can be seen retiring from international cricket very soon. 1. Cheteshwar Pujara Cheteshwar Pujara. (Image Source: Sportstar) Cheteshwar Pujara has been one of the important players of the Indian team in Test cricket. He has participated in many important matches in Test cricket on behalf of the Indian team. However, Cheteshwar Pujara has not been seen playing international cricket for a long time. He played his last match in the final of the World Test Championship against Australia. Cheteshwar Pujara has been playing in the England County Championship for some time now and has left his mark here too. For some time now, the Indian team has also given many young players a chance in the Test format and they have also performed very well in it. It seems very difficult for Cheteshwar Pujara to return to the Indian team now and this is the reason why he may retire from international cricket very soon.
