With Virat Kohli retired and India set to face England in a five-Test series, the No. 4 spot has become a key talking point. While Shubman Gill and KL Rahul were seen as frontrunners, former India coach Sanjay Bangar has backed Karun Nair for the role. Bangar cited Nair’s prolific 2024–25 domestic season, including a Ranji Trophy win and a blistering 89-run IPL knock, as reasons for his return. Nair, one of only two Indians with a Test triple century, could be set for a comeback. Bangar also supported Bengal opener Abhimanyu Easwaran’s inclusion for the England series. (PC: BCCI)
