Nobody expected Karun Nair to get a game against the Mumbai Indians, but fate had its plan as the talented Indian star got his chance and he grabbed it with both hands as he made a mockery of the Mumbai Indians bowling with his exemplary hitting in a tricky run-chase.

In a chase of 206, DC lost Jake Fraser-McGurk for a golden duck and they needed someone to give them a rocking start. However, that start came from an unexpected source - Nair, as he bashed Jasprit Bumrah to all around the park and reached his fifty in 22 balls. So, how much did DC spent to buy the underrate gem?.

Karun Nair IPL price: How Much Did DC spent on him?

DC had a steal in the IPL 2025 mega auction as they acquired Karun Nair's services for a mere INR 50 lakhs and it could well prove to be the buy of the auction if he continues to perform for his franchise.

This was a gamble played by DC to promote him at 3 and the move paved off as his stocks continue to rise with a brilliant knock under pressure.

Nair's first IPL fifty since 2018 season

The last time Nair scored a fifty was way back in the 2018 edition when he smacked 54 runs against the Chennai Super Kings. Since then he played in the 2019, 2020, 2022 season but couldn't score a single fifty-plus score. However, this was his redemption knock against the Mumbai side.
