Vidarbha batter Karun Nair who is currently in the form of his life, smashed a century in the Ranji Trophy final at VCA Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur. With this ton, Nair guided Vidarbha into a strong position as they are looking to clinch their third Ranji Trophy title.
Batting in the second innings on the fourth day of the clash, after earning a 37-run first-innings lead the previous evening, Nair walked in at number four after Kerala removed the openers within the first 14 balls. He built another partnership with Danish Malewar with whom he shared a 215-run stand in the previous innings, Nair denied Kerala the chance of a comeback with his stroke-filled hundred off 184 balls.
