NEW DELHI: Batting Legend Sachin Tendulkar on Friday praised Karun Nair‘s remarkable performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, describing it as “nothing short of extraordinary.”
The Little Master encouraged the Vidarbha skipper to maintain his momentum. Nair has been in exceptional form in India’s leading 50-over domestic tournament, achieving an astonishing average of 752 runs in seven innings, including five centuries and one half-century, amassing a total of 752 runs.
“Scoring 752 runs in 7 innings with 5 centuries is nothing short of extraordinary, @karun126,” Tendulkar wrote on X.
“Performances like these don’t just happen, they come from immense focus and hard work. Keep going strong and make every opportunity count!” he added.
Tendulkar’s commendation comes a day before the national selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, convenes in Mumbai to select the Indian teams for the upcoming Champions Trophy and the ODI series against England.
Responding to Tendulkar’s praise, Nair said his kind words mean a lot to him.
Nair’s outstanding achievements have propelled Vidarbha into the tournament’s final, where they will face Karnataka on Saturday.
Tendulkar lavished praise on Nair, who is only the second Indian batsman after Virender Sehwag to score a triple century in Test cricket.
