Nowadays, Vidarbha batsman ‘Karun Nair’ is in tremendous form at the moment and is making a splash in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. Vidarbha captain Nair has batted with a brilliant average of 752 in this tournament by hitting five centuries and has been out only once so far. After his consistent excellent innings, the discussion has intensified whether Karun Nair can get a place in India’s Champions Trophy 2025 team.
Will Karun Nair get a place in Team India for Champions Trophy?
Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik believes that the Indian team for the Champions Trophy is almost finalized. Even though Karthik has praised Nair’s form, he says that there is no possibility of much change in the team.

Speaking to Sports Wordz Karthik said,
“Karun Nair, it is great to see this form. Mayank Agarwal is also in great form. But the team is already almost decided. There is no scope for much change.”
He further said, “It is tempting to include Nair in the team and he has made himself a part of this discussion. But, I don’t think he will be able to make it to the Champions Trophy team. However, if he continues to play like this, why not? He plays well against both fast bowlers and spinners. It is a pleasure to watch.”
