Karun Nair Buys A New Ford Mustang And Gets A Special Number Plate
Feb 17, 2017 at 10:53 AM
Indian cricketer Karun Nair hit the headlines in December 2016 when he managed to become only the second ever Indian to score a triple-century after Virender Sehwag.
Nair has purchased a new Ford Mustang and he uploaded a pic of it on his social media accounts and called it his “Valentine”. However, the most noticeable point is the number plate, which reads KA 03 NA 303.
The 25-year-old made his highest Test score against England, which is 303* and also became only the third player ever to score a triple-century in his maiden hundred in the history of Test cricket.

However, if we closely observe the special plate he got for his special car, it gives a huge meaning.
‘KA’ represents Karun while 03 tells the innings in which he has managed to get his first triple hundred for the nation. ‘NA’ can be seen Nair while 303 identically represents his highest score ever in his career.
Nair’s score is the third highest by any Indian as Virender Sehwag leads the pack with 319 and 309. He also joined the elite club comprising Sir Garfield Sobers and former Australia captain Bob Simpson to turn his maiden hundred into a triple century.
Despite his heroic innings in Chennai, he was dropped from the one-off Test against Bangladesh as Virat Kohli decided to pick ahead of Ajinkya Rahane ahead of Nair.
Nair will look to work hard in training and will hope for more chances to cement his position in the squad as he looks like a real deal for India in the coming years.
