Karun Nair just stirred up a massive storm on social media. His cryptic post came exactly when India was collapsing badly in Guwahati. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect for sparking debates everywhere. Fans immediately connected his words to India’s batting struggles against South Africa.
Nair’s Emotional Message Goes Viral
India got all out at 201 at the end of day three. They were chasing South Africa’s huge total of 489 runs somehow. That’s when Karun Nair posted his heartfelt message on social media.
He wrote about feeling excluded from the game he loves dearly. Those words hit differently while watching India’s batters fail repeatedly. The post clearly came from someone hurting inside watching from home.
“Some conditions carry a feel you know by heart — and the silence of not being out there adds its own sting,” Nair wrote.
Ravichandran Ashwin even responded to Nair’s post, which made things bigger. That interaction added more fuel to already burning discussions online.
His Ranji Numbers Speak Louder Than Words
Here’s what makes this whole situation frustrating for Nair’s supporters, really. He’s been absolutely killing it in domestic cricket this season. Karun Nair scored 602 runs in the Ranji Trophy at 100.33 average. Those are ridiculous numbers that demand attention from anyone watching honestly.
Yet the selectors keep ignoring him for national selection repeatedly. Fans can’t understand why someone performing this well stays outside. His domestic form screams for an India call-up desperately.
India’s Home Record Crumbling Badly
The IND vs SA Test exposed India’s batting weaknesses brutally on home soil. Marco Jansen destroyed the middle order with his hostile bowling spells. Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav fought hard with lower-order resistance.
But their efforts weren’t nearly enough to save India here. This might mark India’s fourth loss in just six home Tests. They might lose a home series to South Africa for the first time in 25 years. That’s a shame record nobody wanted to see broken.
Karun Nair’s post captured fan frustrations about selection policies perfectly. Many believe he deserves a chance when regular batters keep failing repeatedly.
