India again failed to do their best with their batting performance. Batting failure in Guwahati Test. When India was struggling in IND vs SA 2nd Test, Karun Nair shared a cryptic post on social media platform ‘X’.
Nair expressed himself in a mystic way
Karun Nair expressed his displeasure and disappointment in this post over his omission from the Indian Test team. Nair returned to international cricket after eight years during this year’s tour of England, but was subsequently dropped from the Indian team . On Monday, November 24th, Karun Nair wrote on his X account, “There are some situations you know by heart, and the silence of not being there adds its own pain.” Karun is trying to say that he constantly feels the pain of not being on the field.
Some conditions carry a feel you know by heart — and the silence of not being out there adds its own sting.

Karun, who performed brilliantly in the Ranji Trophy, has performed exceptionally well in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy after being dropped from the Test team. Karun scored 602 runs in five matches for Karnataka at an average of 100.33. Despite this, he was not selected in the Indian team for the home Test series against South Africa.
Washington Sundar was played at number 3 in the Kolkata Test, and Sai Sudarshan was given a chance in the Guwahati Test. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill is also out of the Guwahati Test due to a neck injury, further weakening the Indian batting. The team has inexperienced batsmen like Sudarshan at number 3 and Dhruv Jurel at number 4, who are unable to capitalize on their opportunities.
When India defeated England after conceding over 400 runs in the Chennai Test in 2016, Karun Nair scored a triple century (303*). Now, with the Indian batting faltering once again, fans are remembering Karun. Karun’s batting order remained inconsistent during this year’s tour of England. He was sometimes sent in at number 3, sometimes at number 6.
