During Day 4 of the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston, Indian batter Karun Nair had a scary moment when he was struck on the helmet by a nasty bouncer from England pacer Brydon Carse.

The incident happened in the 17th over of India’s second innings. Carse bowled a sharp short ball that rose quickly and hit Nair straight on the helmet. The impact looked serious, but thankfully, Nair stood his ground and seemed okay after a quick check.

Just a few balls later, Carse delivered another quick bouncer that Nair edged through the slips for four. The English bowlers looked frustrated as the chance slipped away.

Although Nair continued to bat bravely after the blow, he was later dismissed by Carse, caught behind after edging another sharp delivery.

It was a tense and intense moment in the match, showing how dangerous fast bowling can be in Test cricket. Nair showed great courage, and Carse reminded everyone of his threat with the ball.
