Laziest Person in KKR camp? The best thing about Rahul Dravid? | Freehit with Karun Nair | Ep-14

Karun Nair made his international debut through an ODI series against Zimbabwe in 2016. In the same year, he made his Test debut against England at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. It was in the same series when he became the second Indian after Virender Sehwag to smash a triple century in Test cricket.

What could have been his only way to comeback didn’t go in his favour too. India dropped Hardik Pandya in the 5th Test match in England in 2018 in order to play an extra batsman. It was a shootout between Vihari and Nair but like they say its all about destiny, Vihari was p
