Confusion Persists Over the Selection of Indian Team for Champions Trophy 2025
Several cricket fans are curious to know what factors led to the selection of the Indian team for the upcoming Champions Trophy in 2025. With captain Rohit Sharma and experienced player Virat Kohli making the cut, many expected other in-form cricketers to join the team. However, questions have been raised, particularly about the omission of Karun Nair. Harbhajan Singh expressed disappointment over this decision, sparking a debate around the importance of domestic cricket performances in the selection process.
A Glance at Karun Nair’s Performance
In a recent tournament, Karun Nair showcased remarkable batting skills by scoring 752 runs in just 7 innings. This achievement is indeed impressive, but Nair’s below-par performance in the final match seems to have influenced the selectors’ decision not to include him in the squad. Despite his outstanding performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Nair is not part of the Indian team for the Champions Trophy.
Is there a point playing Domestic cricket when you don’t pick players based on form & performance? #KarunNair
