Former India cricketerSurinder Khanna shared his ideas on the noninclusion of Karun Nair from the Champions Trophy team regardless of a phenomenal entertainer in superior cricket. Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma held an interview on Saturday to introduce the 15-member team for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 and ODI collection versusEngland “I think Karun Nair is a bit unlucky. I wish I was the chairman of selectors. He hit 300 in the test match, and after that he disappeared. Now suddenly the moon has come out again, so that moon should shine for 2-3 years and how many 35-36 year olds can you have in the team? It’s a one-day format, you require quick movers in the fielding,” Surinder Khanna stated while speaking with ANI.
Nair was the top-run-getter not just for Vidarbha however likewise in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, having actually gathered a large 779 runs in 7 suits at a mind-blowing standard of 389.50 as he has actually stayed unbeaten in 6 innings. Even after his stupendous efficiency in residential cricket, the 33-year-old fell short to locate a place in the 15-member team.
In 6 Tests for India because his launching in 2016, he made 374 runs in 7 innings at approximately 62.33, with finest rating of 303 *. Nair likewise played 2 ODIs for India, racking up 46 keep up finest rating of 39.
Further, the 68-year-old questioned on Rohit and stalwart batter Virat Kohli’s health and fitness and stated that they both need to obtain “mentally fit” and concentrate on their video games ahead back to develop.
“The captain is also weak. I mean, if you make Rohit Sharma’s field on the boundary, then two runs will be easily taken. Virat Kohli also fields in slips and only does fielding inside the circle. Kohli is not making runs in the fielding, he is putting in a lot of effort in the circle. I hope they all get fit mentally and focus and come back to their form,” Surinder Khanna included.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and celebrity batter Virat Kohli came under attack for an underwhelming Border-Gavaskar Trophy project and in general a really frustrating 2024/25 period of Test cricket. Sharma (31 runs in 3 suits and 5 innings at approximately 6.20) and Virat Kohli (190 runs in 5 suits and 9 innings at approximately 23.75 with a century) did not have majorly with the bat. Virat succumbed to the outside-off-stump catch throughout the collection, most especially by pacer Scott Boland that rejected him 4 times.
The 2024-25 period of Tests has actually been unpleasant for ‘Ro-Ko’ (Rohit and Kohli). While Rohit racked up simply 164 runs in 8 suits and 15 innings at approximately 10.93 with finest rating of 52, Virat racked up a shambolic 382 runs in 10 suits and 19 innings at approximately 22.87, with simply a century and fifty each.
In completion, the previous cricketer admired the administration’s choice to choose Shubman Gill as the vice-captain of the Men in Blue for the Champions Trophy 2025.
“It is a very good and positive development. The new generation who want to take captainship from Rohit Sharma, have been given leadership roles. When Shubman Gill was sent to Zimbabwe as a captain, he went to a couple of places. The youngster has shown promise. Gill has to get his form, that’s the main thing,” Surinder Khanna wrapped up.
