Karun Nair had seen his peak and would fall at ten months after his time at the international cricket. After debuting in hatred against Zimbabwe in 2016, Karun Nair received his call for a single test for the home test series against England, and was up to expectations.
The batter on his right hand had scored his Triple Century Triple Triple against England in 2016 in Chennai. But then he was able to play only six test games and dropped from the Indian Cricket team in 2017. However, he is now reminding himself of the next five -game test series in England after his constant performances in the domestic cricket.
In front of his comeback game in England, Karun Nair recalled one of the darkest phases of his career in 2023. After getting rid of the IPL auction and ignored by English county teams, Nair was left without the option of playing a village club cricket in East Wiltshire, England.

Without professional offers at the table, the Indian mixer joined Burbage & East Wiltshire, where the games were played every Saturday on a small field without large people. The sudden fall of grace was difficult to digest for the cricketter.
Nair revealed that his Wiltshire’s Eastern teammates often ask -“why F ** k” was playing at this level despite being more than good for the county cricket.
Karun Nair said that Mail Sport said, “I tried and no one offered me a contract. After 2018, I always wanted to show that I could play in England. From where I was, it was so hard mentally. I would wake up asking -as I had finished here.
But I had to suck and play and train. It’s like moving from playing in the Champions League below non-league in a few years. Other players told me that I should play the county cricket and asked me, “Why f ** k I’m playing here?”
In the meantime, Karun Nair also opened about the painful moment of his career that left him bewildered. During India’s tour in England, he suddenly dropped Xi before the fourth test and replaced by Hanuma Virari.

The news hit him so strong that he did not know how to deal with it. Feeling lost and helpless, Nair left his hotel and walked directly to Oxford Street in London, which is a popular commercial area. With a heart and heavy pain, he started shopping without thinking.
Nair bought expensive items that would never never look, just to avoid pain. The experienced batter revealed that he even bought a couple of luxury shoes, not because he needed them, but to make it happy. That day, the Cricleter returned with bags full of things he did not need, hoping that material comfort would heal the emotional injured.
He signed saying, “ It seemed to me that someone had hit me on the ground and did not know where to go. I will never forget that time when the news struck me. I did not know what to do or to talk to, so I went for a walk to Oxford Street and started buying anything and everything. I had a couple of Louis Eighon Shoes because I could never.
