Karun Nair breaks 14 year old List-A record
On one hand, Team India is struggling in Australia, on the other hand, the players who are out of the team are busy impressing the selectors for the Champions Trophy 2025 one of them is Karun Nair. Nair has broken the world record in the national ODI tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy being played in different parts of the country. Nair shattered the world record by scoring his third century in the match played against Uttar Pradesh in Visakhapatnam. Nair scored 112 runs in 101 balls. With this innings, Vidarbha easily defeated UP by 8 wickets.
Nair completed his third century in the last four innings in a hundred balls while chasing the target of 308 runs. Apart from him, the other opener Yash Rathore also scored a century. With this century, Karun Nair broke the world record and did a feat which no Indian batsman could do before in List “A” (ODI and domestic ODI). Apart from him, Mayank Agarwal and Prabhsimran Singh have also scored three centuries in the current season, but Nair’s third century got him very-very special record.
Nair’s unbeaten world record
With this century, this was Nair’s the first time in the last five innings that he was dismissed. 33-year-old Nair started his century campaign by scoring 112 runs against J&K. After this, he scored an unbeaten 44 against Chhattisgarh, and in the next two matches, he played unbeaten innings of 163* and 111* against Chandigarh and Tamil Nadu respectively. And on Friday, as Nair crossed the personal score of 70 against UP, he became the first Indian batsman to score 500 runs in List “A” (ODI and domestic one-day) without getting dismissed in a single innings.
Nair burst onto the seen in the 2016-17 session when he scored a triple century in his maiden series against England. However, a string of low scores in the next 4 innings meant that the middle order batter was out from the Indian team.
