Fans, both in the stadium and online, celebrated Nair’s return to the tip of the point – which could have a significant impact on the plans of India for the next series of tests against England.
Karun Nair hits a splendid double ton
Nair, who started day 2 on 186 *, showed no sign of slowdown while he was confidently walking towards his double century. With a calm temperament and a silky blow, Nair spoke of his fourth double hundred in first class cricket – a recall of the pedigree which saw him jader a triple century in a test match for India. His undefeated 200+ stroke came with a mixture of resilience and aggression, punctuated by borders which maintained the dashboard and the quisors of the Lions of England under constant pressure. This round has also become its best for India, eclipiding its previous 114s against South Africa in 2015.
While Nair held an end with the balance, Jurel provided the perfect leaf with a quick and composed 94. The young guardian seeker looked ready percent but fell just short, missing the six-point milestone. Nevertheless, his blow added a vital momentum to the sleeves and showed his maturity as a striker. Their partnership has not only frustrated the lions of the lions, but also the domination of India has in the competition. Jurel’s growing coherence in red ball cricket will surely appeal to selectors, especially with longer lights on the horizon.

A high level, resilient and high quality round of Karun Nair, marking 200 * in English is not an easy task, and he delivered it during his very first outing on this tour after a long -awaited return.

Karun Nair is undefeated on 203. Remember that it is wise to declare because sometimes you do not want to mark all your races in a warm -up match. Think that it is enough to prove that it deserves a crack during a first test. #Karunnair #WarMUPMATCH
