…So what is the use of playing Ranji? Harbhajan Singh raised questions on BCCI, supported triple centurion – champions trophy 2025 harbhajan singh slams bcci ahead of team india selection Support triple centurion karun nair tspoa
Harbhajan Singh On Team India and Karun Nair: The Indian team for the Champions Trophy 2025 starting from 19th February can be announced on 19th January. Before the team selection for the Champions Trophy, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has given a big statement. Harbhajan said that the players who perform domestically should definitely get a chance in the Indian team.
Bhajji scolded BCCI, gave this statement on Karun
Harbhajan Singh criticized the double standards of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in the matter of team selection. Bhajji raised questions as to why the rules were different for Karun Nair, while other players got a place in the team based on their performance in a few matches or the IPL. According to Bhajji, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were asked to play Ranji Trophy because they were not in form. Whereas the players who performed well in Ranji Trophy were ignored.
According to Harbhajan, it would be unfair to keep Karun Nair out now, who has scored runs at an average of 664 in the Vijay-Hazare Trophy. Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel, ‘Many players are selected on the basis of only two matches, while some are selected only on the basis of IPL. So why are the rules different for them? People say that Rohit and Virat are not in form, send them to play Ranji. But why are you ignoring those who are playing Ranji and scoring runs? When will these people play? He is scoring runs here.
Harbhajan Singh further said, ‘I never understood how Karun Nair was dropped from the team after scoring a triple century. He was the second Indian after Veeru to score a triple century. I feel sad that no one talks about players like him.
Let us tell you that the bat of Vidarbha captain Karun Nair is speaking strongly in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. Karun has so far scored 664 runs in 6 innings (not including the semi-final matches) at an average of 664. Karun has scored scores of 112*, 44*, 163*, 111*, 112 and 122* in the current tournament. That means he has scored five centuries. Now N. is in the list of scoring most centuries in a single season of Karun Vijay Hazare Trophy. Have come at par with Jagadishan.
…when Karun scored a triple century
Karun Nair started his international career in 2016 with an ODI match against Zimbabwe. He was able to play only two ODI matches, in which he scored a total of 46. 33-year-old Nair dominated Test cricket by scoring a triple century in December 2016. Then Nair had played an inning of 303* runs against England in Mohali.
However, after that triple century, Karun flopped in a few innings, after which he was dropped from the team. Since then he could not return. Karun Nair scored 374 runs in 6 test matches for India. Karun played his last Test match against Australia in March 2017. Now Karuna Nair has come on the radar of selectors with the way he is batting.
