Delhi Capitals ne Karun Nair ko unke zabardast batting performance ke baad ek aur moka diya, aur is baar unhe playing XI mein jagah mili Rajasthan Royals ke against 16 April ko.
Karun Nair IPL 2025 mein pehli baar tab team mein aaye jab Faf du Plessis injured ho gaye. Usse pehle wo bench par baithe the, despite having a solid domestic season. Lekin jaise hi unhe moka mila Mumbai Indians ke against, unhone prove kar diya ki unmein abhi bhi dam hai.
Nair ne apna pehla IPL match since 2022 khela aur bas 22 balls mein half-century maar di. Total 89 runs banaye 40 balls par, jisne Delhi ko ek strong position mein daal diya. Halanki match DC haar gaya 12 runs se, lekin Nair ne apna impact chhod diya.
“Amazing to get an opportunity, get a 50. Very happy to have them (his parents) here as well. They are here again, hopefully I can perform once again,”
Jasprit Bumrah ko kaise kiya tackle? Karun Nair ne khud ki strategy reveal ki!
Match ke baad Nair ne bataya ki unhone Jasprit Bumrah jaise world-class pacer ke against kaise attack plan kiya. Jab Bumrah ne fourth over dala, Nair ne usko do lagatar boundaries se welcome kiya. Fir powerplay ke last over mein unhone 18 runs maar daale Bumrah ke against – 2 sixes, ek four, aur ek double!
“I wasn’t targeting any player specifically. Was just looking to attack and play. I had the complete freedom and confidence of the dressing room,”
Lekin RR ke against unka luck sath nahi diya. Nair bina koi run banaye Wanindu Hasaranga ke throw par run out ho gaye 4th over mein.
Match ke 9 over tak DC ka score 69/2 tha jab unhe pehle batting karni padi.
