5. Karun Nair
Kaun Nair was born on December 6, 1991, in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. His family originally hails from Kerala’s Chengannur. Karun Nair gained fame in 2016 with a triple century against England in Test Cricket, becoming the second Indian batsman after Virender Sehwag to achieve this. This milestone came in his third Test, making him the quickest to reach maiden Test 300. Despite his unbeaten 303 in that match, his career highlights are limited, with a total of 374 runs after six Test matches. Some argue he lacked sufficient opportunities to showcase his potential.
Happy Birthday to Karun Nair for his incredible performance in Tests.
