Gill had defended, saying, ‘We think Karun is batting well, it is just getting difficult for him to build rhythm’

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that it is unfortunate that Karun Nair could not take advantage of the second chance he got in international cricket. Nair scored 0 and 20 runs while playing at number six in the opening Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. He was then sent to number three in place of Sai Sudarshan, and in the next two Tests he could only score 31, 26, 40 and 14 runs.

Cricket gave him a chance, but he could not capitalize on it: Sanjay Manjrekar

Manjrekar, referring to an old viral tweet of Nair ‘Cricket give me another chance’, said that despite getting opportunities in the England tour, this batsman could not take advantage of the opportunities. This led to the batsman being dropped from the squad ahead of the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester, and Sudharsan was once again included in the playing XI.

“It was an emotional story where he said, ‘Cricket, give me another chance’. Cricket gave him another chance. Unfortunately, he couldn’t capitalise on it and, you know, now Sai Sudharsan is making a comeback. It’s good to see Sai Sudharsan back, because I felt he should have played the second Test as well,” Manjrekar said on air during the fourth Test.

Unfortunately, Karun-Gill could not score many runs

Sanjay told that, it seemed that the 33-year-old Nair would be retained in the playing XI, as Indian captain Shubman Gill defended Nair’s poor performance in the pre-match press conference.

Gill said in the pre-match press conference, “We think Karun is batting well. In the first match, he did not play at his number (at number six). When a player is making a comeback in a series like this, it is difficult. But I don’t think there is any problem with his batting.” “Sometimes it is also about getting the rhythm. Once you complete your half-century, you can get back into your rhythm and score some big runs. Unfortunately, that has not happened for him yet.”

While Vaibhav Suryavanshi dominated the Youth ODI series, Ayush did wonders in the Youth Test. On the last day of the second Youth Test against England in Chelmsford, India tried to achieve the target of 355 but fell 65 runs short of victory, as rain came in the end and the match was drawn. However, Ayush’s smashing century on the last day was the topic of discussion and he has made a big record in his name.

Ayush Mhatre hit the fastest century in Youth Test

On the fourth i.e. last day of the match, England declared their second innings at a score of 324/5 and India got a target of 355. Captain Ayush Mhatre had made up his mind to chase this big target and he expressed his intentions from the beginning of the innings. Mhatre completed his half-century in just 25 balls and continued to bat even after that.

He took the English bowlers to task and then made the record of the fastest century in Youth Test in 64 balls. Mhatre broke the record of England’s George Bell, who scored a century in 88 balls against Sri Lanka Under-19 in 2022.

This young player, who played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, faced 80 balls in his innings and scored 126 runs with the help of 13 fours and six sixes. However, despite Mhatre’s brilliant century, the Indian team did not get the win, as rain knocked in the end and Team India had to be satisfied with a draw. Earlier, the first youth test of the series was also a draw. In this way the two-match series ended at 0-0.

After this, he was seen in a lot of pain and then taken out of the field with the help of an ambulance. After the first day’s play, Indian batsman Sai Sudharsan gave an update on Pant’s injury and also told how the team will fill his gap if Rishabh is not fit to bat.

In fact, during India’s first innings, Rishabh Pant was batting very well and had scored 37 runs in 48 balls. Then in the 68th over of the innings, on the fourth ball of Chris Woakes, he tried to reverse sweep but the ball took the inside edge of the bat and hit his right shoe. England made a strong appeal and also resorted to a review but Rishabh was saved.

However, Pant looked in a lot of trouble due to the ball hitting him and also took the help of the physio. When the physio removed the shoe, blood was seen on the sock and then after removing it, it was found that his foot had also swollen a lot. After this, he was taken out in an ambulance. After the day’s play ended, Sudarshan told about Pant that his scan is going on in the hospital.

Sai Sudharsan expressed confidence in the rest of the batsmen

After the first day’s play of the Manchester Test, Sai Sudarshan, who came to the press conference, said:

“He was definitely in a lot of pain, he has gone for a scan. We will get information overnight, maybe tomorrow. Clearly, he will be a big loss, because today he was playing really well and we will also be missing a batsman. If he does not come back, it will definitely be a blow. But the batsmen who are playing right now and some more all-rounders are also in the team. We will try our best and bat for a long time so that we can handle that loss very well.”

Let us tell you that Sai Sudarshan was included in the playing 11 in place of Karun Nair in the Manchester Test and he scored a brilliant half-century in the first innings. Sudarshan faced 151 balls and scored 61 runs with the help of seven fours.

The Indian team and fans would be hoping that Rishabh recovers soon and takes part in this match again but England spinner Liam Dawson has a different opinion. Dawson feels that Pant will not be able to play in this match now as his injury is quite serious.

Rishabh Pant tried a reverse sweep off the bowling of Chris Woakes and injured his leg in the process. Pant was in a lot of pain and had to be carried off the field. He also underwent scans at the nearest hospital, and the reports are awaited. The 27-year-old’s leg was badly swollen, as shown live. Pant was then carried off the field with the help of a golf-style buggy.
