India, July 16 -- The heat is firmly on Karun Nair. After former BCCI selector Devang Gandhi and former keeper Deep Dasgupta expressed serious doubts over his place in the Indian Test XI going ahead, Ravi Shastri , the former India coach pummeled him for his dismissal in the second innings at Lord's. Shastri pointed to two pivotal moments that swung the third Test at Lord's decisively in England's favour: Rishabh Pant's unfortunate run-out at the stroke of lunch on Day 3, and Karun Nair's inexplicable leave in the second innings that opened the floodgates for a dramatic Indian collapse.

India, chasing a modest target of 193, folded for 170, losing the match by just 22 runs and handing England a 2-1 lead in the five-Test series.
