The story of Nair is a curious one. From becoming India's second triple centurion in Test cricket to getting dropped from the Indian team in the very next Test, Karun has seen it all.
The 2017-2018 season has been a decent one for the youngster. He has scored 612 runs in 11 innings at an average of 68 with 3 centuries and 1 half century.
Nair still averages 62.33 after playing 7 Test innings and should definitely be given another opportunity to play for India in the middle order. The Test against Afghanistan will be the perfect platform for Karun to make a comeback to the team and make his case for a position in the Indian middle order for the upcoming 5 Test series against England.
