Karun Nair down with abdominal pain

Vizag: The injury concerns continue to grow for the Indian team after it was revealed that Karun Nair was down with abdominal pain.

The 25-year-old batsman had to undergo scans in Vizag where he is playing for his Ranji Trophy team Karnataka in a quarterfinal clash against Tamil Nadu.

According to reports, Karun, who became only the second Indian to score a triple hundred in Tests following his unbeaten 303-run knock against England in the fifth Test in Chennai, felt that he had some trouble with lower abdomen and he underwent scans on Friday night.

If he is ruled out from playing, as a part of recovery process, for a while, it could be a major blow for India as they get ready to take on England in three ODIs and three T20Is.

While the Indian Test team has not lost a game in their last 18 outings and are doing well in the shorter formats of the games, injuries to the key players – Roiht Sharma, Mohammed Shami, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane and Jayant Yadav have been a cause of concern.
