Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar lauded compatriot Karun Nair for his monumental run as a part of Vidarbha's Vijay Hazare Trophy side, saying that performances like this just do not happen out of nowhere, they come from "immense focus and hard work".

Nair, who is captaining Vidarbha in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, will play the title clash against his former team Karnataka at Vadodara on Saturday.
