Karun Nair Sets List A World Record With Another Century During Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024

While chasing a tough total of 308 runs, Nair came up with a brilliant 112-run knock. He was very well supported by the opening batter Yash Rathod, who also scored a century. When Nair surpassed the score of 70 runs, he became the first batter from India to score 500 consecutive List A runs without losing his wicket.

The 33-year-old batter who shifted his base from Karnataka to Vidarbha, started the tournament with 112 against Jammu and Kashmir, followed by a gutsy knock of 44 not out against Chhattisgarh. Nair then smashed back-to-back centuries: 163 not out against Chandigarh and 111 not out against Tamil Nadu. 

KARUN NAIR has just hit his 4th  in his Last 5 innings. 3rd consecutive.

More interestingly, the Delhi Capitals Righty Batter has not been dismissed even once in this year’s Vijay Hazare Trophy.
