India comeback a motivation as Karun Nair returns to IPL
Hindustan Times Jaipur
|March 20, 2025
Nine years ago, Karun Nair was one of the most talked-about names in Indian cricket.
NEW DELHI: He had just become only the second Indian batter to score a triple century in Test cricket. It was 2016, and he was part of Delhi Daredevils, now known as the Delhi Capitals.
Cut to 2025 and Nair is back with the same franchise after being picked for ₹50 lakh in the IPL mega auction. IPL 2025, for Nair, comes on the back of a sensational domestic season, where he amassed 779 runs in eight innings at an average of 389.50 in the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was also vital in leading Vidarbha's Ranji Trophy-winning campaign, scoring 863 runs at an average of 53.94.
