New Delhi. The tour of Australia has been transformative for the Indian team. The defeat of Border Gavaskar Trophy can prove to be career-destroying for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who were the strong batting links of Team India. Both of them failed to score runs on this tour and because of this their place in the Test team is in danger. Preparations are underway for changes in the Indian Test team, especially after the shameful performance in batting in the 2024-25 season and the sword is hanging on some players.

The Indian team lost the home series against New Zealand and then lost to Australia and was out of the race for the World Test Championship final. The future of captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli is under question. Both these batsmen have been in bad form for a long time. While Rohit and Virat are not scoring runs, in domestic cricket, Karun Nair is scoring century after century.

Karun Nair, who has scored a triple century in Test cricket, is staking a claim to return to the Indian team after his/her brilliant performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. After the poor performance of Virat Kohli, Karun has emerged as an unexpected contender. Nair has scored 664 runs in six innings, which is a world record for scoring the most runs without getting out in List A cricket. he/she has scored four consecutive centuries which is a joint record in the history of 50 over format.

Will Nair, who scored a triple century, return?
According to a report in Indian Express, Nair is now back on the radar of selectors. 33 year old Nair can make a comeback in the team on the basis of spin bowling along with batting. This player last played for India against Australia in Dharamshala in 2017. In December 2016, Nair became the second Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket by scoring a triple century against England in Chennai. Overall, the right-handed batsman played six Test matches for India and scored 374 runs in seven innings at an average of 62.33.
