KL Rahul is quite excited about Karun Nair`s return to India`s Test squad in the five-match Test series against England.

The duo have been playing cricket together since the age-group level and have had their own struggles to make the cut in the national team.

"We started playing cricket as 11-year-old boys together, and we have been on this journey ever since. Both of us have had our ups and downs. He got his opportunity, scored a triple hundred, faced a bit of tough time after that for a lot of reasons," Rahul told Delhi Capitals.
