Karun nair: After performing brilliantly in Team India, a player was dropped by BCCI. Not only this, he was also ignored by his own home cricket team. But despite this, this player did not give up. The situation became so bad that the team was not giving a chance even in the IPL. But there is a saying that even if some work is late, but when you get a chance, do not do it better than you. One such player has shown that in the match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025.

This player is none other than Karun Nair. He returned after about three years and surprised everyone in his first match.

Karun Nair gets a chance after three years

In fact, Karun Nair was given a chance by Mumbai Indians in the absence of Faf du Plessis by Delhi Capitals. He took advantage of this opportunity as no one can take up. During this, he also showed a stormy skill with the bat.

He scored 22 runs off 9 balls of the world's number 1 bowler. If we talk about his all over innings, he scored 89 runs off 40 balls. Statistics are showing what extent he has batted stormy and aggressively.

Karun Nair hit 78 runs off just 17 balls

Karun Nair not only hit 12 fours and 5 skyscraper sixes. That is, he hit 78 runs off a total of 17 balls. Let us tell you that Karun last played the IPL match in 2022. After this, he was waiting for his opportunity. But he got this opportunity after 3 years. He has been scoring a lot of runs in domestic cricket before the IPL.

It is known that he has scored runs in all the domestic cricket matches that Karun has played. He has shown good performance in Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali. He has set the same example in the IPL.

BCCI and domestic board ignored him

However, Karun Nair's journey from domestic cricket to IPL 2025 was full of struggle. Significantly, Karun has made her debut for India. He has also scored a triple century. He is the only Indian player to achieve this feat after Virender Sehwag. But in 2017 he was dropped from the team. Not only this, his domestic cricket team Karnataka also ignored him.

But he did not give up, started his domestic career from Vidarbha and attracted the attention of selectors, BCCI and all by showing stormy games.
