WTC 2025–27 Squad Mein Selection
Karun ko recently India ke WTC 2025–27 squad ke England tour ke liye reserve batsman ke roop mein shamil kiya gaya hai. Pujara aur Rahane ke permanent exit ke baad, middle-order mein naye options chahiye the — aur wahi chance Karun ke liye khula hai.

1. Stability in Middle Order
India ko ek technically sound middle-order batsman ki zarurat hai. Karun is requirement ko perfectly fill kar sakte hain.
2. Calm Temperament
Unka game style calm aur composed hai — pressure situation mein important hai.
3. Experience + Motivation Combo
Unke paas experience bhi hai aur comeback motivation bhi. Ye combo unko dangerous bana sakta hai.
Team India Ke Liye Long-Term Option?
Agar Karun 2025 mein milne wale maukon ka sahi use karte hain, toh wo India ke middle-order mein long-term option ban sakte hain.
Unki fitness, domestic consistency aur technique unhe overseas tours mein valuable bana sakti hai.
