5 players who disappointed during India's home season

#1 Karun Nair

Nair flattered to deceive

In just his second Test for India, Karun Nair became just the second Indian player after Virender Sehwag to score a Test triple century. But barring that one glorious knock, which will go down as one of the finest by an Indian batsman, Nair had a horrible home season.

Although he averages above 60 in his Test career, which began during the England series, remove that one unbeaten triple century and his numbers don't make for particularly great reading. He averaged just 13.50 in the Australia series and barring the Chennai Test in which he scored his triple ton, he scored just 71 runs in five matches at an average of under 12.

After an incredible start to his Test career and being the unfortunate victim of Ajinkya Rahane's return to fitness, after he benefitted from it in the first place to score his triple ton, Nair has flattered to deceive. He will be hoping that he gets another chance to show that the triple century was no fluke and that his first-class average of over 50 is actually a true reflection of his abilities.
