Karun Nair Sets World Record For Scoring Most Runs Without Dismissal In List A
Vijay Hazare Trophy: India batter and Vidarbha captain Karun Nair set a world record for the most consecutive runs scored in List A cricket without dismissal, amassing over 500 runs before finally losing his wicket in the match against Uttar Pradesh during the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Chasing a formidable target of 308 runs, Nair led Vidarbha’s charge with a brilliant 112-run knock, which eventually saw him dismissed for the first time in Vidarbha's fourth match of the tournament. His innings, alongside opener Yash Rathod’s century, formed the backbone of the team's chase, helping the team edge closer to victory.
Nair shattered the previous world record of 527 consecutive runs in List A cricket without dismissal, set by New Zealand’s James Franklin in 2010. By the end of his innings, he had notched up 542 runs, becoming the first Indian batter to achieve this feat.
