Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has made a double bold prediction ahead of India’s five-Test series against England, suggesting that Virat Kohli might reconsider his Test retirement if India suffers a heavy defeat. Clarke also pointed out that Karun Nair has been overlooked once again, despite his past performances.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- Kohli retired from Test cricket last month, after playing 123 Tests, scoring 9,230 runs, and hitting 30 centuries.
- Clarke believes that if India loses 5-0 in England, fans and selectors might urge Kohli to return, given his passion for Test cricket.
- Karun Nair, who once scored a triple century for India, has been snubbed again, with selectors opting for Sai Sudharsan as a potential No. 3 batter.
📢 Clarke’s Statement:
- “If India gets flogged 5-0 in England, I think the fans will want Virat Kohli to come out of retirement and play Test cricket again.”
- “He still loves Test cricket. If asked by the captain and selectors, I think he’ll come back.”
⚠️ Strategic Impact:
- Kohli’s potential return could reshape India’s Test squad, especially under new captain Shubman Gill.
- Karun Nair’s continued exclusion raises questions about selection policies and India’s middle-order strategy.
