Peaking at the right time
Peaking at the right time

The art of peaking at the right time is something that cricketers often wish to perfect especially when there is a huge day just around the corner. For every T20 cricketer right now, that day is the IPL Auction and if ever there was a perfect time to showcase your skills it is in the days and weeks leading up to it.

Karun Nair knows all about that as the Karnataka batsman smashed two centuries and a fifty in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy just before the IPL 2018 Auction. Although his side failed to qualify for the final, the Indian batsman scored 379 runs at an average of 42 and strike rate of almost 175.

Considering his experience and proven track record in the IPL, Nair was always going to be amongst the Indian batsmen who got picked, but his recent run might have just earned him a few extra admirers that might turn into more money during the upcoming IPL auction.
