Karun Nair’s Test comeback marks a significant moment for Indian cricket as he prepares to rejoin the squad for the five-match series against England.
After being dropped post his previous England tour, Nair worked hard in domestic cricket, impressing notably in the Ranji Trophy, which paved his way back.
"Life has come full circle," Nair said, expressing readiness for the challenging series.

His return coincides with the retirement of key batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, creating opportunities in the batting lineup.
India aims to secure its first Test victory at Headingley since 2002, now under the leadership of Shubman Gill.
"I went out of the team in England, and now I am coming back to the team in England," Nair reflected on his journey.

This comeback not only highlights Nair’s perseverance but also the evolving dynamics of the Indian Test team as it rebuilds and strategizes for success in England.
The BCCI’s hint at his inclusion signals confidence in his ability to contribute significantly in the upcoming series.

With a blend of experience and fresh leadership, India looks to capitalize on this opportunity to break a two-decade-long winless streak at Headingley.
Nair’s story is one of resilience and determination, embodying the spirit of Indian cricket’s new chapter.
