Karun Nair came into Indian cricket circles more than a decade ago as a talented young batter, destined to reach great heights. He started off his career brilliantly as well, hitting a triple century against England in a Test match. However, things went pretty downhill for India and he last played for India in 2013.

Karun Nair Translates Domestic Form Into IPL Glory

The right-handed batter also played his last match in IPL 2022 and since then has been waiting for his chance. The redemption started during the 2024-25 domestic season when the batter displayed superb skills across formats for Vidarbha. It earned him an IPL contract of 50 Lakhs, and after waiting for four matches, the man is back in IPL with a bang. 

He hit fifty off just 22 balls and smashed Jasprit Bumrah as well, showing his class against star-studded MI bowlers. It has delighted fans, and he is been praised from all corners. Here are some of the fan reactions.
