Karun Nair’s Old Tweet Has Gone Virat After He Replaced KL Rahul At LSG: Lucknow Super Giants suffered a big blow as their captain KL Rahul announced that he will have to undergo thigh surgery after he suffered a serious injury during the team’s clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday (May 1).
Karun Nair Has Replaced KL Rahul
As a result of his diagnosis, KL Rahul has been ruled out of the rest of the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League and Krunal Pandya will lead the team in his absence. Rahul’s injury is a massive blow for the Indian cricket team as well, as he will also miss the World Test Championship 2023 final against Australia.
Meanwhile, Rahul’s injury has opened the doors for Karun Nair. Rahul’s teammate from the Karnataka state team. Karun has got an unexpected opportunity as he has been named as Rahul’s replacement at LSG.
Karun Nair will join the Lucknow Super Giants for the rest of the IPL 2023. Notably, he went unsold at the auction at a base price of INR 50 Lakhs. Nair was part of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) team that reached the final in 2022 but he played only 3 games, scoring just 16 runs. He was a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad in the 2021 season but didn’t get a single game. He has previously been a part of Punjab Kings (PBKS), Delhi Capitals (DC), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as well.
Karun’s Old Tweet Has Gone Viral
As Karun was roped in as Rahul’s replacement, an old tweet of him has gone insanely viral on social media. The Tweet read: ‘Dear Cricket, Give Me Another Chance.’
Check out the old tweet:
HE posted this Tweet a few months ago but days after this tweet he went unsold at the auction. He has now got the much-deserved opportunity and Karun will look forward to making the most of it.
