Karun Nair is best known for his historic 303* against England in 2016, making him only the second Indian to score a Test Triple-Century. However, despite that remarkable high point, he has struggled to maintain consistency in his career. In 8 test matches from 2016 to 2025, he has scored 451 runs at an average of 45.10, with just one hundred and no fifties. His recent outings, including low scores against England in 2025, show the struggling phase of the player, and currently, turning his innings start into big scores has been a challenge for him.
