Farokh Engineer minces no words, lashes out at Karun Nair for 'beautiful 30s': ‘Got to get a not-so-beautiful 100'
Former India cricketer Farokh Engineer didn't mince his words while criticising Karun Nair, who failed to make an impact with the bat in the ongoing Test series against England. The Vidarbha batter, who made a comeback into the Indian team after eight years, has failed to cross the 50-run mark in the six innings, and now, with India currently trailing 1-2, his place in the XI has been put under the scanner. He has managed just 131 runs at a batting average of less than 22 and failed at both number 3 and 5 so far. Karun Nair has failed to impress in the first three Tests against England.(AP) Farokh slammed Karun for not converting his starts into big scores, which is required from a batter who is batting at number 3. "Karun Nair has been getting brilliant 20s and 30s. He's (Nair) scored beautiful 30 runs, beautiful cover drives and all that. But a beautiful 30 is not expected from a No. 3. You've got to get a not-so-beautiful 100. You need runs on the board. You need (to score) bigger. The expectation should be much higher," he told the Times of India. Nair forced his way back into the Indian Test squad on the back of a stellar 2024–25 domestic campaign. Representing Vidarbha, he amassed 863 runs in nine Ranji Trophy matches at an average of nearly 54, including a crucial century in the final against Kerala. His form carried into the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he hammered 779 runs in eight innings at an eye-popping average of 389.50, registering five centuries. 'Haven't seen much of Sai Sudharsan' Farokh has firmly told head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Shubman Gill to pick a player who can help win the match, while recommending Sai Sudharsan, who was put on the bench after the first Test. The elegant left-hander did not do much wrong to be excluded, and it was done to accommodate an extra batting option at number eight. "We should pick the best XI. I haven't seen much of Sai Sudharsan. You've got to pick the best player for the time being. Who's going to give you maximum? You are playing for your country. Your reputation is at stake. So, I would say, forget the age. If he's good, play him to win this Test match," said Engineer.

Ranji Trophy: Jitesh Sharma joins Baroda after Vidarbha exit; Rasikh Salam also makes move
KOLKATA, INDIA - MARCH 22: Rasikh Salam of Royal Challengers Bengaluru celebrates the wicket of Sunil Narine of Kolkata Knight Riders during the 2025 IPL match between Kolkata the Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on March 22, 2025, in Kolkata, India. (Photo by) Mumbai: Vidarbha and Royal Challengers Bengaluru wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma and J&K pacer Rasikh Salam Dar will represent Baroda in the upcoming domestic season. Both players have apparently made the switch with help from their RCB teammate and Baroda captain, Krunal Pandya . Jitesh, 31, captained Vidarbha in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy last season, leading them to the quarterfinals, but did not feature in any matches during the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy . He has played nine T20Is for India (100 runs @ 14.28), and was a star performer for IPL 2025 champions RCB (261 runs in 15 matches @ 37.28, with one fifty and a strike rate of 176.35, including a top score of 85 not out in a league stage match and a crucial cameo of 24 off 10 balls in the final against his former IPL team, Punjab Kings). Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rasikh has played five first-class matches and taken 13 wickets at an average of 25.23. In List A cricket, the 25-year-old fast bowler has claimed 13 wickets from 10 games at an average of 37.46 and an economy rate of 5.80. He has also featured in 36 T20 matches, taking 45 wickets at an average of 23.13 and an economy rate of 8.52. Rasikh made his List A debut for J&K in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy in October 2018, and played his first Ranji Trophy match later that year on December 30. His T20 debut came on February 22 in the 2019 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Salam, who has played for India A, has also been part of four IPL teams — RCB, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians. Apparently, Jitesh wasn't happy with certain things at Vidarbha. A white-ball specialist, Jitesh — who made his first-class debut in 2015 — did not play in the Ranji Trophy last season. He played the last of his 18 first-class matches in January 2024. He has scored 661 runs in 18 first-class matches, 1,533 runs in 56 List A games, and 2,886 runs in 141 T20s with a strike rate of 152.29. Apart from RCB, Jitesh has played for Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He was part of the Rohit Sharma-led MI team that won the trophy in 2017.

Former India Pacer Varun Aaron Joins Sunrisers Hyderabad As Bowling Coach
Varun Aaron played nine Tests and as many ODIs for India between 2011 and 2015. His last competitive match was a Vijay Hazare Trophy game for Jharkhand earlier this year. Sunrisers Hyderabad appointed former India pacer Varun Aaron as their bowling coach for the 2026 IPL season on Monday. Aaron will succeed former New Zealand left-arm quick James Franklin. 'A fiery addition to our coaching staff! Welcome Varun Aaron as our new bowling coach," SRH announced on their X account. A fiery addition to our coaching staff! Welcome Varun Aaron as our new bowling coach 🔥🧡 #PlayWithFire — SunRisers Hyderabad (@SunRisers) July 14, 2025 Aaron played nine Tests and as many ODIs for India between 2011 and 2015. Aaron's last competitive match was a Vijay Hazare Trophy game for Jharkhand against Goa in Jaipur on January 5 earlier this year. However, Aaron ended his playing career after Jharkhand failed to enter the knockout stages of the domestic 50-over competition. The 35-year-old burst onto the scene as a young tearaway capable of crossing the 150 kmph mark, earning him immediate attention from the selectors. In fact, the top brass at the time wanted to invest heavily in him and another emerging fast bowler, Umesh Yadav. While Umesh went on to play more than 50 Tests, Aaron soon largely became an onlooker due to frequent injuries. Sunrisers Hyderabad's Torrid Run In IPL 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad endured a dismal IPL 2025 campaign, plagued by inconsistency, poor execution, and a heavy dependence on a misfiring top order. Despite a promising start, including a mammoth 286-run innings in their opening game, their form dipped sharply as the season progressed. The duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma struggled to replicate their 2024 heroics, offering little firepower when it mattered most. Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Reddy also failed to provide the stability required in the middle order. The bowling department fell short as well. Injuries to key players like Adam Zampa and the off-form Mohammed Shami hurt their attack, while the spinners lacked bite on slower tracks. With tactical errors and underwhelming individual performances piling up, SRH finished sixth on the points table with 13 points in their kitty.
