(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.

“Pakistan has become a joke of cricket”- Former cricketer scolded players after losing to Bangladesh
After Pakistan’s bad defeat, Kamran criticized the team on his YouTube channel. He said that no one has learned anything from what has happened in Pakistani cricket in the last five years. He said, “It was because Rizwan scored 50 and moved the scoreboard, otherwise we would have lost by an innings. This is such a bad defeat that it will not be forgotten. If you think bad about someone, bad things will happen to you too. You have not learned anything in the last 5 years. You lost to Zimbabwe. You were out of the Asia Cup last year. Now you have been humiliated so much in the World Cup. Pakistan cricket has become a joke in the world.” Kamran has praised the Bangladesh cricket team for their excellent performance. He said that Bangladesh had to save the match and they not only did it but also won the match. He said, “This is a difficult time for Bangladesh, but their batsmen scored runs. They had to save the Test match, they not only saved it but also won the match. They opened up the wrist of Pakistani cricket. Our batsmen were batting like club cricketers. The approach of the Pakistani players was also very bad. The players were laughing in the dressing room. There was no seriousness because they knew that no one would ask anything.

Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as India Test captain: Sanjay Bangar
According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for some more time in Tests. Virat Kohli Test (Image Credit- Twitter) Indian team’s experienced batsman Virat Kohli is considered one of the best players in the world. Virat Kohli’s performance in international cricket has always been tremendous. Not only this, Kohli has also left his mark as a captain. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India won the series in Australia. Not only this, India also won the Lord’s Test played in 2021. However, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian team has not won a single ICC trophy. According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for a little longer in Tests. Let us tell you, in September 2021, Virat Kohli resigned from the post of captaincy of T20. Not only this, shortly after this, he withdrew his name from the post of captaincy of all formats of India. Speaking on The Rao Podcast, Sanjay Bangar said, ‘My personal belief is that Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as Test captain. He should have captained India in a few more Test matches. I believe he had taken a decision on this matter long ago.’ The decision was not discussed in the right way: Virat Kohli Virat Kohli captained the Indian team in 68 Tests, out of which the team won 40 and their winning percentage was 58.82. Not only this, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian fast bowlers also bowled lethally and maintained their pressure on the batsmen of the opposing team. Under his captaincy, the team confirmed its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2021. In 2022, Sourav Ganguly was the President of BCCI and he had said that the board had appealed to Kohli to captain the T20 team. He also said that Kohli had rejected this appeal and the selectors are not fully ready for two different captains for white ball cricket. However, later Virat Kohli made a big revelation about this. Virat Kohli had said, ‘Whatever was told that we had taken this decision together was not correct. When I decided to step down from the captaincy of the T20 team, I first went to the BCCI. I told them the reason behind it. I was not told at all that I have to step down from the post of T20 captaincy. I was completely sure about this. At that time I had also said that I can also captain the ODI and Test team, but the officials felt that I cannot take this responsibility. I had told my side and left the decision to them.’ Pakistan’s luck is bad, they have not won a Test match for 1294 days These 5 Indian cricketers are addicted to alcohol Shikhar Dhawan did this trick to win the ‘Golden Bat’ 5 big records of Shikhar Dhawan, in this case he is ahead of Kohli Shaheen Afridi became a father, his wife gave birth to…
