Fans on Twitter reacted after Vidarbha skipper Karun Nair was left out of India’s national cricket squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The BCCI on Saturday (January 18) announce the team through the press conference with Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma at the helm of things.
One of the notable omissions from the team was Karun Nair. This came as a big surprise because the Vidarbha captain has been in the best form of his life in white-ball cricket. The right-hander has set the stage on fire in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and thanks to his sensational form with the bat, he has guided his team to the final of the tournament.
Karun Nair has looked like a beast with the bat in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
Karun Nair has looked like a beast with the bat in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The right-hander has been nothing short of exceptional, and with his way of batting has attracted the attention of many. He was expected to make the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad.
Karun Nair has shown incredible consistency with the bat and has hardly put a foot wrong in his innings. The batsman has led from the front for his team and almost single-handedly led them to the final, which will be played against his former team Karnataka on Sunday (January 18).
Karun Nair has averaged 752 in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
Karun Nair has averaged 752 in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He is yet to be dismissed and has amassed five centuries. The right-hander has registered scores of 112*, 44*, 163*, 111*, 112, 122* and 88* this season, which speaks volumes for his form with the bat.
After his sensational performances, there were reports that the batsman had fallen under the selectors’ radar. Even Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar mentioned that it was difficult to pick the batsman and praised the batsman for his special performance in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
Karun Nair’s last innings unbeaten 88 runs reached the semi-final of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He came to bat in the second half of the innings but made sure to leave an impact and passed over fifty runs in the tournament, helping his team to a huge total.
Karun Nair is currently playing the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and as he has not made a cut in the squad for the tournament, he would be ready to answer the selectors with the bat.

JUSTICE FOR KARUN NAIR

Poor performance of Karun Nair’s PR team is the main reason why he was not selected π€‘ . Anyone can average over 700! #ChampionsTrophy pic.twitter.com/7KSBmlUFX0

NOT KARUN NAIR.
Ajit Agarkar said, “Averaging over 750 is simply insane, but it’s a team of 15, so we can’t fit everyone in.”#ChampionsTrophy pic.twitter.com/uJDws0waaV

NOT KARUN NAIR.
What is the advantage of doing domestic outings? pic.twitter.com/9Qrka4nVrWβ Neeraj Yadav (@NeerajY90335930) January 18, 2025
Feeling bad for Karun Nair.
Scoring 7 centuries consistently
Still not enough to get a place in the team. Just score in Ahemdabad and get 10, 20 runs in rest, you will appoint as vice-captain.
Congratulations π #ChampionsTrophy2025 #TrofeuChampionsβ SunitHota_szn (@Sunithota1) January 18, 2025

Karun Nair and Sanju Samson will be very disappointed with the announcement of Team India.
Should have had Axar in place of Jadeja and Nair or Samson in place of KL Rahul.
Rahul is too injury prone and mentally weak to play at the highest level.

Karun Nair even scores 1000 runs in a match, though India won’t be able to play! @BCCI Shit show!

Deeply saddened by the exclusion of Karun Nair and Sanju Samson. It’s time to close the national competition as only team favorites are given opportunities. #ChampionsTrophy2025 #RohitSharmaπ΅ #gambhir #siraj #sanjusamson #SaifAliKhan #ViratKohli

Karun Nair should have been selected man. Probably one of the unluckiest players to date. https://t.co/qNmPxgNjES

Not picking Karun Nair for the Champions Trophy is a travesty.
β Thejaswi Udupa (@udupendra) January 18, 2025
Agarkar’s tenure as head selector is as dubious as his record of 7 consecutive zeroes while batting. Terribly thick skinned. Not taking Karun Nair after his recent form is simply foolish. The antagonism towards Samson is well known anyway #iccchampionstrophy2025 #BCCI
β Rajeev Menon (@menonrajeev) January 18, 2025
Selecting two rookies for CT instead of Siraj and Karun Nair is the decision this management will regret.π
