Karun Nair gave a big statement
Let us tell you that in an interview with Daily Mail before the recent England vs India Test series, Karun Nair said- This was two years ago. I still remember a leading Indian cricketer calling me and saying that you should retire, because the money earned in these leagues will keep me safe. It would have been easy to do so, but I knew that despite the money, I would have kept cursing myself for giving up so easily.
Nair further said- I did not want to miss the opportunity to play for India again, this was some time ago. Look where we are today. This is like a madness for me, but deep inside I knew that I am very good as a player.
It is worth noting that Karun made his debut against England in the year 2016. In his third Test match, he played an innings of 303 runs against England, but after this innings he got a chance to play three more matches and then he was dropped from Team India.
