Not KL Or Gill! Kumble Picks 33-Year-Old Star As India's New No. 4 Test Batter

  • Anil Kumble picked 33-year-old Karun Nair as India’s new No. 4 Test batter for the five-match England series starting June 20, 2025, in Leeds.
  • Kumble made this decision after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket recently, leaving a gap in the middle order.
  • Karun, a former triple centurion and Vidarbha captain, impressed with strong domestic performances including 863 Ranji Trophy runs at an average of 53.93 last season.
  • Kumble expressed that Karun’s strong performances in domestic cricket and his County experience justify his return to the Indian team.
  • Karun's selection signals a new phase for India’s middle order that must adapt without past stalwarts, with hopes resting on form and experience in English conditions.
