Nair has scored 374 runs in the longest format at an impressive average of 62.33. The Karnataka batsman played his debut Test against England and made a fine triple-century in the final match of the series.

Nair helped his side win the Test and was adjudged the player of the match for his game-winning knock. 

Nair last featured in the Test squad during India's home series against Australia in 2017, where the batsman failed to make a mark and was subsequently dropped from the national side. Nair plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. He was released by Kings XI Punjab (Punjab Kings) after the end of the 2020 season. Nair will next be seen in the second leg of the Indian Premier League, which will be played in the UAE in September this year.
