Nair raised 863 points in the Ranji trophy, ending as the fourth higher scorer of the tournament, while Vidarbha won his third title in red ball cricket. He was the main Run-detained in the Vijay Hazare trophy with 779 points at an average of 389.50, helping Vidarbha reaching the final.
The striker also contributed to his Trophy Syed Mushtaq Ali campaign, where the team reached the quarter -finals. According to Cricbuzz, personal and family reasons are behind Nair’s decision to return to Karnataka. The Karnataka State Cricket Association referred to welcoming it again.
The passage of Karun Nair to Vidarbha relive the career
Nair went from Karnataka to Vidarbha before the 2023-24 season. This decision helped the average striker relaunch his career, which has earned him calls to India A and the senior team for the five -game test series against England, which is expected to start Leeds on June 20.
Nair, who made his debut for India in 2016, played six tests. He became the second Indian to mark a triple century of testing after Virender Sehwag, breaking an undefeated 303 against England in Chennai. He played for the last time for India in March 2017 and accumulated 374 points in seven rounds during this passage.
Nair is now on the verge of an international return after almost eight years. The right -handed striker is in competition with Sai Sudharsan for a place in game XI.
Jiteh Sharma began to join Baroda after managing Vidarbha in T20s
Jiteh Sharma is about to join Baroda before the new national season. The 31-year-old groomer led Vidarbha in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy and played under the captain of Karun Nair during the Vijay Hazare trophy. He did not appear in the Ranji trophy last season.
Jitesh impressed in IPL, playing a crucial role for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their 2025 final race. He scored 24 points out of 10 balls in the Six RCB victory against the Kings of Punjab (PBKS) during the confrontation of the summit.
