As per a report from Revsports, the hit wasn't too massive for him to stop entirely. 🚨 #KarunNair got hit by @prasidh43 at the nets in Headingley. Nothing serious as there laughs after a small medical attention.@RohanDC98 📸 #ENGvsIND pic.twitter.com/aVIJpnapV5 — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) June 18, 2025 Meanwhile, whether Karun Nair can actually make a comeback in Test cricket is yet to be seen. Last day, in the pre-match pressy, the Indian vice-captain clarified that he himself will be batting at 5, with the captain, Shubman Gill, coming at number 4. In that case, KL Rahul is likely to open the innings as he did in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, alongside the young talent Jasprit Bumrah. As per Pant, the number 3 of te team is not decided. There are multiple options in the team, having Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, etc. In such a case, its to see how the management can solve the riddle and play Nair in the XI.
