Former Indian cricket player Irfan Pathan has opined about Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan in so far as their performances in the just-concluded England-India five-match Test series are concerned. Karun and Sudharsan both played four and three games, respectively. Irfan rated Karun four out of ten simply because he failed to make the most of his starts, except for the one fifty (57 off 109) in the fifth Test at The Oval. The ex-all-rounder believed that the Karnataka batsman could have performed well during the third match of the series at Lord's, which he did not end up playing, resulting in India losing the game since the English team had already taken a 2-1 advantage. Here is what Irfan shared on his YouTube channel: “Karun Nair gets four out of ten. Why? He didn’t look particularly poor throughout the series. He kept getting starts consistently but managed only one half-century. He got plenty of opportunities. Cricket definitely gave him a second chance, but he couldn’t capitalise on it the way he should have. Especially in the Lord’s Test, he had a real chance to win the match for India but couldn’t do it,” “Other than that, it often seemed like he was playing well, building up nicely, and then suddenly, he’d play a loose shot and get out. At The Oval, when the bouncer was used against him, he looked a bit shaken and seemed more unsettled and uncomfortable. So, he gets four points," added Irfan. Coming to Sudharsan, the former all-rounder expressed the opinion that the southpaw exhibited glimpses of positive signs while batting. He also wondered what would have been the case if Sudharsan was supported throughout the entire series. The Baroda-born believed Sudharsan should be supported more in India's red-ball matches to extract the maximum out of his potential in the future. “Sai Sudharsan gets five out of ten. He came across as a player who, with a bit of work on a few aspects, clearly has a lot of cricketing potential. He could have made better use of the opportunities he got but wasn’t quite able to do so. However, I do believe that if he had played all the matches, things might have turned out differently, but it’s not that easy,” the cricketer-turned-YouTuber commented.

Siraj was the spark behind the collapse of England on the last day of the match, grabbing a match-altering five-wicket haul in the second innings and nine wickets in total from the match. His spell on Day 5, in which he claimed three wickets for a paltry nine runs, torn apart England's tail and clinched victory for India. This moment marked a powerful redemption for the pacer, who had endured a rough patch, including a costly dropped catch of Harry Brook on Day 4. Siraj, who was the top wicket-taker of the series with 23 victims, displayed terrific mental strength to comeback. The last over of the game, in which he bowled Gus Atkinson with a blistering yorker, sent him and his team mates into delirious ecstasy, an appropriate finale to a series which will be remembered for its nail-biting finish and the advent of a new generation of Indian heroes.
