Karun Nair finally found some form with the bat on Saturday (May 24), scoring 44 runs in the match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Karun Nair Smashed Four Consecutive Boundaries vs PBKS
He had started his IPL 2025 season with an impressive 89-run knock against Mumbai Indians – his first IPL game since 2022. That performance earned him a regular spot in the Delhi Capitals team.
However, after that big innings, he struggled. In his next six matches, he only crossed 20 runs once and got out for zero twice. His 44-run innings against Punjab Kings was a much-needed return to form.
For the first time since his 89-run knock in the first game of the season, Karun Nair crossed 40 runs again. He was eventually out for 44 off 27 balls, hitting 5 fours and 2 sixes.
