Today is one of the greatest and unforgettable days for the young Indian cricketer Karun Nair who created the history by scoring 300 runs in a single innings of a Test match. One Karnataka batsman KL Rahul missed a double century yesterday just by a run and today Karun Nair made up his teammate converting his maiden Test century into a double and also a triple century.

Karun started the day-4 with Murali Vijay at the other end on 71. It was a great innings from the youngster as he could exhibit his skills against one of the best teams in the world i.e. England. He hit 32 fours and 4 sixes on his way to the milestone.

The characteristic of his knock was the strokes he played, he looked very comfortable driving, pulling and playing the reverse sweep as well. Apart from the one catch that Alastair Cook dropped when Nair was on 35, it was a flawless knock and as he spent time in the middle read the situation better deciding who to attack and which bowler to stay cautious against.

Thus, Twitterati can’t stop congratulating Karun Nair for his wonderful and extraordinary knock.

It was generous of Kohli to extend the innings that long but he must hope his bowlers give him something this evening.

In bed watching India V England. Great batting from Karun. But India should’ve declared 40 mins ago & had an hour at England. Agree ?

Only Sehwag stands ahead now……..

— Ric Finlay (@RicFinlay) December 19, 2016

KL Rahul should take a leaf out of Karun’s book on how to score a double hundred. Or at least take a run from kaRUN

— Ravi Maestri (@ravimaestri) December 19, 2016

At least Karnataka’s talent has no restrictions of flowing freely in TamilNadu 😉 Delighted for Karun and KL 👏👏 #IndvEng

— Jatin Sapru (@jatinsapru) December 19, 2016

9th double-century in Tests at Chepauk – easily the most at any Indian venue. Next highest 6 at Feroz Shah Kotla. #IndvsEng
