Manjrekar on Nair: Failed to Grasp Opportunity in Test Cricket
Karun Nair, a cricket player, was given another chance to play for India after a long time.
He had a good performance in domestic cricket, which led to his comeback.
However, in the few games he played, he didn't score many runs.
This led to him being dropped from the team.
Sanjay Manjrekar, a former player, expressed that it's unfortunate Nair didn't make the most of this opportunity.
Karun Nair was dropped from the Indian Test team after the fourth Test against England.
Nair returned to the Indian Test team after eight years due to his domestic cricket performance.
In three Tests, Nair scored 0, 20 at No.6 and 31, 26, 40, and 14 at No.3.
Sanjay Manjrekar said Nair didn't capitalize on his second chance in international cricket.
There were discussions about Nair's poor performance and potential retention.
