Nair Shares His Batting Approach and Mindset

Speaking after the match, during the post-match conference, Karun Nair also shared his approach to batting, saying he focused on playing traditional cricket shots during the Powerplay and then shifted to more innovative strokes in the later stages of the innings.

“So I just told myself, ‘give yourself the time, play normal shots and then, you know, improvise when needed’. Fortunately, everything came off, and I’m happy that I batted well. But again, I would have loved that if the team had gone on to win.”

Karun Nair mentioned that he didn’t play in the first four matches, but he always knew his opportunity would come eventually, so he stayed prepared and ready to perform when called upon.

“Look, obviously, we lost an important player in Faf, and we always knew – the few of us batters who are sitting outside who should be and have to be ready at any given time. So, mentally, I was ready, and obviously looking forward to the chance, whenever it came,” “I felt confident. I felt like, I’m well prepared to play in the IPL if given the opportunity. So it was all about me preparing the way that I’ve been all through the season and waiting for my chance. So I was doing my bit to prepare and be ready for the game.

“It’s always a tough call for the team to pick 11 or 12 players, and I’ve always respected that. For me, it was about preparing and keeping the same process that I followed, which has worked for me, and just being ready to go out there and perform for the team.”
