ENG Vs IND, 1st Test: Karun Nair's Comeback Cut Short As He Departs For A Duck; Video

India's middle-order batsman Karun Nair endured a forgettable return to Test cricket as he was dismissed for a duck off just 4 balls by England captain Ben Stokes during the first Test at Headingley. The right-hander was sent back early in his innings while attempting a cover drive that ended up costing him his wicket.

Coming in at a tense moment with India looking to build on a solid platform, Nair’s stay at the crease was short-lived. On just the fourth ball he faced, he leaned into a full delivery outside off, attempting one of his trademark cover drives. However, the execution fell short.

Stokes, leading by example once again, added to his already impressive spell with this dismissal, keeping England in the fight against a strong Indian batting order. As the match progresses, questions may arise about Nair’s role in the side, but for now, it’s a moment he’ll want to move past quickly.
