Karun Nair became the most trending topic after his triple-hundred against England in the first innings of the ongoing fifth Test match in Chennai. Nair batted out of his skin and became only the second Indian batsman to score a triple-hundred in Test cricket, after Virender Sehwag.
Karun Nair, who plays for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League, showed great skills and temperament to achieve such a massive milestone so early in his career. With this triple-hundred, he has not only joined Sehwag in India’s 300 club, he is now at number 3 position in the list of highest individual scores in Test cricket by Indian batsmen, and this list includes the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and other Indian legends.
This is how Twitter reacted to Karun Nair’s triple hundred:
A brilliantly paced knock by a really talented young batsman! Congratulations @karun126 on a truly splendid knock! #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/qm2nXbv9yd
