India, Oct. 26 -- Karun Nair, who was recently dropped from the Indian Test team, followed up his first-round knock of 73 with an unbeaten 174 as Karnataka amassed 371 in their Ranji Trophy 2025/26 game against Goa at the KSCA Navule Stadium in Shimoga on Sunday. Despite getting denied a double century by his teammates, the knock was enough to send a reminder to the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee that he is far from finished.

Nair waged a lone battle as Arjun Tendulkar and Vasuki Koushik picked up three wickets each against Karnataka. The veteran batter brought up his century on Day 1 of the contest and looked set for a well-deserved double on Day 2. However, the last man, Vidhwath Kaverappa's run-out, denied him the milestone.
