Ind vs Eng 4th Test: Will Sai Sudarshan replace Karun Nair in playing XI?

India is currently lagging 1-2 in the five-match Test series against England. The visitors lost the third Test at Lord's mainly due to failure of the batters.

Under the circumstance, veteran batsman Karun Nair's performance is under scanner. Though Nair has made a comeback to the Indian Test team after a long gap of eight years, he has so far failed to impress in England. In six opportunities so far, Nair has managed to score only 131 runs.

In response, former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta has suggested that it might be time to move on from the returning Nair. The former India star has shown his support towards an able youngster — Sai Sudharsan, who was snubbed from the playing XI after the opening Test match of the series.

"What I would be looking at is at number three. Would Karun Nair still continue or do you want to invest in a young player like Sai Sudharsan who looked comfortable in the last innings that he played in that first Test match?" asked Dasgupta.

"Sudharsan is young and an investment for the future. Karun, I think, has got his chances. It’s not about chances. More than that, I think how he’s looked. He’s looked comfortable in patches, but a few questions are still unanswered. And that’s what kind of makes me think otherwise," he added.
