Karun Nair and KL Rahul opened up on the latter's return to the Indian Test setup after more than seven years. Nair has been included in India's Test squad for the series against England after the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. On being asked about the prospect, Nair mentioned that it felt special and that he was thankful, lucky, and excited to seize it with both hands. Nair was unable to put his emotions into words and wanted to feel it himself. He mentioned it would be something special to get an opportunity to be back on the side. Nair had his last Test appearance for India against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2017. Here is what Nair said in the video posted by BCCI "Feels very special, very grateful, and very fortunate to be able to get this opportunity again. I'm really looking forward to and excited to grab this opportunity with both hands. Not sure, actually. I think I will have to experience that feeling myself, and you know, just go out there and feel it for myself. And I'm sure there will be a lot of feelings, ones that I cannot express right now, and it will be a special feeling," At the same time, Nair's team-mate and close friend, KL Rahul, talked about his comeback to the Indian team. According to him, he had seen how much effort Nair had put in to get back into the Test team by working hard at the County level.

"I've known him for a very long time and the months he spent here in the UK playing cricket and how hard and lonely it was, for him to be able to do all of that and come back into the Indian team, I think it's special for him, for his family, and for friends like us, who have seen his journey," said Rahul. "So, like I said, very inspiring as well, and hopefully his experience and learning from playing County cricket here will hold him in good stead when he plays Test matches here," he concluded.
