'It was very lonely here'

The only India batsman to have scored a triple-hundred before Karun Nair was Virender Sehwag. He was among the first to welcome Nair to the club.

Wishes poured in from across India.

And elsewhere.

Karun Nair's highest first-class score still remains his 328 in the 2014-15 Ranji Trophy final.

India declared on 759 for 7 - their record Test total - and Nair's unbeaten 303 was the first time a batsman had finished on that score in Tests.

Both Jayant Yadav and Karun Nair, who were handed debuts during the England series, have made an impression.

The 31st Test triple soon?

Would you agree with this thought?

That would be cruel.
