Indian batsman Karun Nair, who marked the return of his test for India in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, would recall the upcoming Dalip Trophy due to a shock for his finger in the final innings of the Oval Test.
India’s 33-year-old middle-order batsman Karun Nair returned his Test debut in 2016 and tripped triple in the home series against England, but was dropped from the Indian test side behind some sensible performances against Australia.
Nair, since then, worked hard in domestic sports to make a strong comeback in the Indian side; However, the Indian batting lineup delayed Karun Nair’s return to India, with Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara’s choice.

Karun Nair to Miss Dalip Trophy 2025
Ending his 8 -year -long efforts, Karun Nair, who also portrayed the IPL for the Delhi Capital last season, was selected for the India vs England Test series in England. After making his debut against England, Nair once again returned to the Indian side on an English tour.
After creating an amazing dual century in the preparation games, Nair was expected to be rock-solid for India, as the management gave him several opportunities in several batting positions in the team. Despite the possibility, Nair finished with just 205 runs at an average of 25.62 and with just one half-century in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Meanwhile, the Times of India has now reported that Karun Nair faced a minor fracture on his finger, when a rising ball hit him in the second innings of the Oval Test.
He is unlikely to feature in the Dalip Trophy for the Central Zone due to injury and has gone back to his former team Karnataka for the upcoming domestic season.
Nair leaves Vidarbha to return with Karnataka
Two weeks ago, during the India vs England series, Karun Nair informed about his return to the Karnataka state team when he received an objection certificate from the Vidarbha Cricket Association, with which he spent in his last two sessions.
Karun’s shares increased significantly since exiting the Karnataka team, as Vidarbha gave him a better platform to demonstrate his skills, and he led him a historic third title in the Ranji Trophy.
He also enjoyed the Vijay Hazare Trophy while playing for Vidarbha, as he took him to another final before he was runner -up in the competition. During the stent, he scored the most runs without dismissing.
Karun Nair’s domestic dominance for Vidarbha
In 2023, when Nair moved to Vidarbha, no one estimated the levels that he would take the team. He inspired him for his third title in the Ranji Trophy and ran a dream in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, as he took him to the finals and scored a runner-up in the 50 over tournament.
In the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy season, he scored 863 runs for Vidarbha at an average of 53.93 with four centuries. Earlier, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he hit in 8 innings in five centuries, while he remained unbeaten on 6 occasions.
He topped the chart with 779 runs in 8 innings and had a strike rate of 124.01, maintaining a crazy average of 389.50.
