Take a bow @karun126 quality triple 💯, India never short of batting talent, another emerges! #INDvENG

I told you at the start of the Test that if we could get Kohli and Pujara early, we could win this one @guerillacricket

Naam mein hi run chupe hain Ka'RUN' Nair #INDvENG
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) December 19, 2016

It was generous of Kohli to extend the innings that long but he must hope his bowlers give him something this evening.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 19, 2016

Not a bad way to announce yourself into international cricket .#KarunNair Wish you many more runs

Triple-centurions for India:
Sehwag 309 v Pak, Multan, 2004
Sehwag 319 v SA, Chennai, 2008
Karun Nair v Eng, Chennai, 2016#IndvsEng
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) December 19, 2016

Useful from Nair: turning a maiden Test hundred into 303*. What a day.
— Lawrence Booth (@the_topspin) December 19, 2016

Whoa....Mount Everest Climbed Again. Triple century in only his third Test innings. Unbelievable stuff. Well played, Karun Nair. #INDvENG
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) December 19, 2016

Karun Nair (25y-13d) 6th youngest to register a 300 in Test cricket#IndvEng
— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) December 19, 2016

Yay ! Welcome to the 300 club @karun126 .
It was very lonely here for the last 12 years 8 months.
Wish you the very best Karun.Maza aa gaya!
— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 19, 2016

Aim higher. Someone told Karun Nair..........
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 19, 2016

Karun Nair - only the second Indian batsman to score a triple-hundred. In just his 3rd Test. Take a bow! #IndvEng #Chennai #KarunNair
— Kallol Sarkar (@kallol_ss) December 19, 2016

In bed watching India V England. Great batting from Karun. But India should've declared 40 mins ago & had an hour at England. Agree ?
— Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) December 19, 2016

India pushing for four figures. Like playing against Namibia on EA Sports cricket 02. #INDvENG
— Tom Morris (@tommorris32) December 19, 2016

If Kohli was actually aggressive he would've declared with Nair on 280 not out...
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) December 19, 2016

Annihilation by India today!!!!! So long, England. Toodaloo! #INDvENG #SorryNotSorry
— Elixir Nahar (@ElixirNahar) December 19, 2016

Got to hand it to the Chennai crowd. They've just gone wild for Jadeja's 50. What will they do for Nair's 300?
— Lawrence Booth (@the_topspin) December 19, 2016

Waiting for @virendersehwag s tweet on @karun126 😆 #INDvENG
— Gautam Bhimani (@gbhimani) December 19, 2016

300 with a six? has been known to happen #INDvENG
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) December 19, 2016

Karun Nair now has the highest score by an Indian batsman who doesn't make awful dad jokes on twitter.
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) December 19, 2016

Karun Nair reaches 250, a landmark only 3 other Indians @virendersehwag (4times), Dravid and @VVSLaxman281 (1each) have reached.#INDvENG
— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) December 19, 2016

This is embarrassing 😱England's bowling display during the whole tour of India.Only Broad comes out with any credit 🏏🇮🇳
— Darren Gough (@DGoughie) December 19, 2016

get with the plan jadeja, take a single #INDvENG
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) December 19, 2016

Only Sehwag stands ahead now........
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 19, 2016

Karun nair giving a nice reply to the English team... sehwag in disguise #IndvEng #cricket
— Karan Wahi (@karan009wahi) December 19, 2016

But what are England bowling? Karun Nair is in a mithai shop and the owner is asking him to have as much of anything he wants......
