On December 19, 2016, Karun Nair created history. He played the innings of his career and became only the second Indian to slam a triple century in the purest format of the game. Thus joining the opener Virender Sehwag in an elite club .
Talking about his 303* , which came in the first innings of the final test of 2016 India/Eng series at Chennai was vastly appreciated including wishes from our honourable PM Narendra MODI .
After the series he was selected for series against Australlia where he could’nt make any impact and failed the tour drastically . His scores were like 26,0,23,5 in test matches against Australlia at Bengluru , Ranchi , Dharamshala respectively .
He just scored 300 runs in his 15 innings he played after his triple ton . Even his IPL performances were no eye catchers . I guess he just turned into a One Match Wonder. They could have backed him little more but there were better players on the rise like Mayank , also Vihari who was given a shot because of his bowling abilities . Moreover , India being so serious about cricket these things can happen and for being in the team just as a batsman you need to be at the top always .
Maybe some people will call our management baised but I don’t find any prejudice in his case .
As of just being 27 years old yet may he come back strong and better .
