A triple ton in Test Cricket is always a celebrated landmark because such instances come very rarely amidst the hard grind of a Test match. Over five days the batter needs to showcase their skill and show what they are made of, and also accelerate at a good pace according to the game situation.

Virender Sehwag is very celebrated in India as a Test batter because he has scored two triple tons in red ball cricket. For a long time, no other Indian could get to that list, but Karun Nair broke the deadlock when he made his debut in 2016 against England. In the final test of the series in Chennai, he registered an unbeaten knock of 303 runs.

The Karnataka batter took to Twitter to post an emotional message to the cricketing circles saying, "Dear cricket, give me one more chance”. When he scored the triple ton in the final test against England, He became the fastest batter to score a triple hundred with the fewest number of Test matches played. Nair was named the player of the match in that game.

Here is the tweet
