5 fastest Triple Centuries in Test Cricket

#4 Karun Nair – 381 balls, 2016, Chennai

Karun Nair 300

Nair’s triple ton is only one of four triple centuries scored by a batsman batting at No.5 or below. Nair has Don Bradman, Michael Clarke and Brendon McCullum for company. His 303* against England at Chennai came off 381 balls at a strike-rate of 79.52 with 32 fours and 4 sixes, emphasizing his phenomenal fitness that saw him run a lot of singles, twos and threes. Also incredible is the fact that Nair scored 232 runs in one day.

He reached his century from 185 balls. Nair reached the double ton in 306 balls and for the last 102 runs, he took just 76 balls, in which he hit 10 fours and 3 sixes, literally toying with the England bowling on a fourth-day pitch which to his good fortune, was still well-behaved.
