Dinesh Karthik criticised Karun Nair’s dismissal for 14 runs in India’s second innings at Lord’s against England, calling it “ordinary” and questioning Nair’s judgment.

Michael Atherton also questioned Nair’s decision, calling it “strange.” Anil Kumble termed it a “brain fade.” Despite Washington Sundar’s four-wicket haul, India stumbled to 58/4 at stumps on Day 4, chasing 193 on a tricky pitch. Nair’s lapse gave England a crucial opening in the tight contest. (PC: News18)
