The five -match Test series between India and England is going to start in Headingley, Leeds from June 20. The concern of Team India has increased before this important match. A batsman who was in great form on this tour and who caught everyone’s attention by scoring 259 runs in practice matches, has now been injured. This player is none other than Karun Nair, who got a chance to return to Team India after 8 years. According to reports, Karun Nair has suffered injuries due to ball in ribs
& nbsp; Karun Nair got injured, the impact on the planning of Team India
Karun Nair was practicing in the nets before the first Test. During this time, a ball of the famous Krishna went to his rib. This ball was missed by his bat and went straight on his ribs. This has hurt him and now there has been doubt about his availability whether he will be able to play the first Test against England?
At present, there is no official statement from BCCI on Karun Nair’s injury, nor has it been told whether he will be able to fit till the Leeds Test. If their injury was serious, then it can be a matter of great trouble not only for them but also for the team.
Karun Nair played the last Test for the Indian team in white jersey in the year 2017. Since then, he did not get a chance to play in the team, but this time he was selected for the Indian team’s tour of England. He scored 259 runs in three innings of two practice matches against England Lions. Not only this, he has become the only Indian player to score a double century on this tour so far.

If the fitness of Karun Nair is not good, then the Indian team will have to include another batsman in his place in the playing eleven. In this situation, the name of Abhimanyu Ishwar is coming out, who has been doing well in India A team and domestic cricket for a long time.
However, the Indian team management will have to take this decision in the morning or before the toss. The exit of an in-form batsman like Karun Nair can affect the team’s middle order balance.
