About Karun Nair
Karun Nair is a classy right-handed batter famous for one of the most remarkable innings in Indian Test history: an unbeaten 303 against England in only his third Test, making him only the second Indian, after Virender Sehwag, to score a Test triple century. Born in Jodhpur in 1991 to parents from Chengannur in Kerala, he grew up in Koramangala, Bengaluru. Born prematurely, he took up sport on doctors’ advice to strengthen his weak lungs, a start that makes his later achievements all the more striking.
Career highlights
Karun came through the Karnataka system and the Koramangala Cricket Academy, becoming a heavy run-scorer in domestic cricket. His 303 not out against England in Chennai in December 2016 made headlines around the world.
After losing his place in the Test side, he spent several years in domestic cricket and county cricket, and made a celebrated return to form with record-breaking run tallies in Indian domestic tournaments, earning a recall to the Indian Test squad. He plays for Karnataka and has played for several IPL franchises, including Delhi Capitals.
What audiences love about Karun
Fans admire Karun’s grace and his perseverance. His triple century is a cherished memory for Indian fans, and his determined comeback after years out of the team, including a famous social media post asking cricket to give him one more chance, captured hearts across the country. His story from a premature baby with weak lungs to a Test triple centurion is genuinely inspiring.
His Kerala heritage and Bengaluru upbringing give him connections in two southern states.
