and Bob Simpson by becoming only the third Test batsman to convert his maiden
Test hundred into a triple century.
India declared their
first innings right after Nair reached his triple hundred. Nair’s 303 became
the third highest individual score by an Indian in Tests, after Sehwag’s 319
against South Africa in March 2008 and 309 against Pakistan in March-April 2004.
Nair also became the
highest individual scorer for India against England in Test cricket, going past
Virat Kohli’s 235 runs scored in Mumbai in the fourth Test of this series.
