Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has picked Karun Nair’s wicket in the second essay as the key moment that tilted the third Test at Lord’s in England’s favour.

Karun and KL Rahul had taken India to 41 for one in the second innings on the fourth day, but the former offered no shot to a delivery from pacer Brydon Carse to be adjudged leg before. It gave England an opening and India slumped to 82 for seven from 42 for two. Shastri said Karun suffered from “huge lapse of concentration.”


“At 40-1 [second innings], that was a huge lapse in concentration from Karun Nair to leave a straight ball, a nothing ball, and open the door for England. The timing of that dismissal turned things around.”
