Karun Nair waited for eight years to make his comeback in the Test format, and now, just when he was just trying to make a comeback, he was dropped after playing only two Tests against England. Fans and cricket pundits feel that he deserved one more chance. Former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif wrote on X: "Today was Shubman Gill's chance to back karun who was down but deserved one more chance. He should have picked Karun Nair. Chance missed to earn the respect when it comes to making tough decisions as a leader."
