In IPL, magnificent Karun Nair has plied his trade at Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils over the years. This season, the 26-year-old was bought by Kings XI Punjab for a whopping 5.60 crore. In fact, Nair was one of the players who announced himself at the IPL before eventually getting the India call-up, this he is a firm believer of the fact that the lucrative league gives confidence to the players to succeed at international level.
“IPL has played a huge role for me, as a domestic player playing in the IPL and doing well gives you the confidence as you’re playing against international quality. I was lucky enough to play with the Royals. They put me out there and gave me confidence. I am also thankful that they gave me sufficient time to make an impact,” said Nair To Cricketnext.
“I have learnt that it is important to maintain an emotional balance and not go overboard with things. Now, it doesn’t affect me as much as it did before. I can only do my bit and score at the domestic level. Rest is upto the selectors and the team management, what I do know is that I will be a better player next time I get an opportunity,” he added.
