Karun Nair’s fine innings
The another common—and boring—thing of this IPL has been that not many local players have sprung up to do well on a consistent basis. It has been the big-name players who have come up with the goods on regular intervals.
However, in today’s game, a new weed sprout up and became the tree that KKR found almost impossible to uproot: his name is Karun Nair.
He faced half a century of balls and scored 68 runs at a strike rate of over 130 to give Delhi Daredevils a score that they could defend. It came at a time when the top-order failed them as all three of Quinton De Kock, Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson went away cheaply.
