Karun Nair

Karun Nair is a run-scoring machine who etched his name into the record books in 2016.

In for the injured Ajinkya Rahane, and Rohit Sharma, he announced his arrival at the international level with an unforgettable triple century as India broke a deluge of records en route to their highest-ever Test total against England (759-7).

Nair, who made his Test debut a few weeks earlier, became India’s second triple-centurion (after Virender Sehwag), and only the third man in the game’s history to convert a maiden Test ton into a triple.

His elevation to the national side had, though, come as no surprise having averaged 50 plus since his Ranji Trophy debut (2013/14). In fact, it wasn’t even Nair’s first triple – he’d chalked up that milestone during the 2014/15 Ranji Trophy final (328), helping Karnataka to successive Ranji titles. In doing so, Nair became the second Karnataka player to score a triple century, and the first batter to hit 300 in a Ranji final since 1946/47.

Whilst Nair was churning runs in red-ball cricket, he was also heavily involved with the Indian Premier League, representing four Franchises during the past decade. He also continued to lord the domestic circuit following his final Test outing in March 2017.

Now a veteran of 325 matches, with the small matter of 11,000 runs and 20 centuries, Nair is set for a new venture in 2023. The Indian legend is set to embark on his maiden UK club stint having signed with West of England Premier League club Burbage and Easton Royal.

All eyes will be on the man who thwarted England for 300 as he looks to help the club push for Premier 1 promotion in 2023.
