'Where is Karun Nair?'
Where is Karun Nair? What is the purpose of performing in domestic cricket if it’s not considered? Why, then, is playing in domestic cricket mandatory? You could have selected anyone you wished. Who in this team is currently in form?#ChampionsTrophy2025 #Teamindia pic.twitter.com/nPuc6TCrvH

Fan Baffled Over Karun Nair's Non-Selection
BCCI has been crying about domestic since the end of the test series and now they didn't pick karun nair who has an average of 752 in VHT. Why will players play domestic now when you're not gonna select them even after sensational performances? BCCI only selects ipl players.
