India's second ever triple-centurion after Virender Sehwag


Karun Kaladharan Nair (born 6 December 1991) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for Karnataka in domestic cricket and Rajasthan Royals in Indian Premier League.

 He is a right-handed top order batter and occasional off break bowler.

 He is only the second Indian batter to score a triple century in Test cricket.

He made his India debut in the 2016 away ODI against Zimbabwe. He made his Test debut against England in 2016.

Nair was named in the Indian ODI and T20I squads for their series against Zimbabwe in May 2016[25] and made his One Day International (ODI) debut in the series at Harare Sports Club on 11 June 2016.[4]

On 26 November 2016, he made his Test debut against England at Mohali.

 He scored his maiden Test century in the final match of the series at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, going on to finish 303 not out.

 He was only three innings old in international cricket then, thus becoming the quickest batsman to hit a maiden triple-hundred in Test cricket history in term of number of matches played. 

He was also India's second ever triple-centurion after Virender Sehwag, and only the third man in the game's history to convert a maiden Test ton into a triple.

 India won the match by an innings and 75 runs, and Nair was named as the player of the match.
