Karun Nair's Cricket Struggles, Football Claim in Indian Team
Karun Nair, a cricket player, was given another chance to play for India after doing well in domestic games.
However, in the few games he played, he didn't score many runs.
This led to him being dropped from the team again.
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said it was sad that Nair didn't make the most of his opportunity.
Nair also joked that he thinks he's the best football player on the team.
Karun Nair was dropped from the Indian Test team for the fourth Test against England.
Nair returned to the Test team after eight years due to his domestic performance.
In three Tests, Nair scored 0, 20, 31, 26, 40, and 14.
Sanjay Manjrekar commented that Nair didn't capitalize on his second chance.
Nair humorously claimed he is the best footballer in the Indian team.
