Stats: Players who made a Triple century but did not play in the next Test

1.Karun Nair

During the five-match series against England last year, Ajinkya Rahane was forced to miss the final two Tests at Mumbai and Chennai and as a result, it was Karun Nair, who took his pot in the middle-order.

After failing in the game at the Wankhede Stadoium, the right-hander came back in the best possible fashion in the next game at the Chidambaram Stadium, where he made not a century, but a triple century to join an elite group of players.

It was an innings filled with strokes to all corners of the ground and one that saw the birth of a new star.

However, in the first Test since that epic knock, Nair found himself on the sidelines for the one-off Test against Bangladesh as the team decided to bring Rahane back into the scheme of things and he became the latest entrant into the club of players, who didn’t feature in the next Test after having made a triple ton in the previous one.
