    Ranji Trophy Final: Karun Nair Hits Ninth Century Of Season To Put Vidarbha In Firm Position

    Vijay Hazare Trophy: Vidarbha in-form batter Karun Nair carried his sublime touch in the Ranji Trophy final against Kerala as he struck a century in the second innings to put his side in a solid position to claim the title at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha on Saturday.

    Batting in the second innings on day four, Nair walked in at No. 4 when the side was reeling at 7/2 following Kerala’s early breakthroughs. Adding to the overnight 37-run first-innings lead, partnering once again with Danish Malewar - his ally in a match-defining 215-run stand earlier - Nair thwarted Kerala’s comeback hopes with a fluent century off 184 balls. The partnership extended their lead by over 200 in the final session of the day.

    This marked Nair’s second hundred in a Ranji Trophy final across four appearances since his Karnataka debut in 2013-14. In the first innings, he surpassed 8,000 first-class runs in his 152nd match and, for the first time, crossed 800 runs in a single Ranji Trophy season. It was also his ninth century of the season and his celebration after reaching the three-figure mark also signalled the same.
