But the timing might not have been right for him. He made his Test comeback after 8 years in the series against England. Failing to do well in the same led to Nair being dropped by the selectors for the next series against the West Indies. Now, fans wonder whether it is the end of the road for Karun Nair in the Test format or not.

And the team's struggles even at their home conditions continue to grow. This tweet could be a dig at the BCCI selectors, as the Indian batsmen have not been able to do well in the series. Along with that, Nair, who did well in his last Test match against England, is sitting while the team struggles at the home conditions.
Karun Nair made his debut to the Indian team in 2016, and was seen as a bright star. He made his debut for the team in the home series against England. But he was not able to do well in the first two tests, scoring 4 runs in the first game and 13 runs in the second game.

Nair also played well for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, and eventually made it to the Test team after 8 years.
Karun Nair finally made his return to the Indian team in the India tour of England. But as good as this series was expected to be for him, he was not able to deliver up to the mark. He got out for a duck in the first game, but he looked fine with the bat in the next few innings.
