If there’s one thing that stands out about Karun Nair, it is his ability to turn up when it matters the most. As he gears up for IPL 2025 with Delhi Capitals, he has got his sights set on breaking their title jinx and taking them all the way.

The seasoned batter has been in stunning form in domestic cricket as he has piled on the runs for fun and reminded everyone why he’s still a force to be reckoned with.

Karun Nair Reflects On Reuniting With KL Rahul At Delhi Capitals

An exciting aspect of IPL 2025 for Nair is the opportunity to team up with his long-time friend KL Rahul. The Karnataka based players have shared the dressing room since their early days and Nair is eager to replicate the magic from their domestic partnerships in the IPL.

"It is exciting to be back with KL. We have played together since the very first day. He has done well in the IPL for the last few seasons and I am very happy to be back with him."

Excited To Be Back At Delhi Capitals

For Karun Nair, this IPL stint with Delhi Capitals feels like a homecoming. The batter is pumped to be back in the mix and is eager to contribute.

"I am really happy to be back at the Delhi Capitals. I am excited to join the side and play with everyone. I will treat every game as important as the last one."

He revealed that there is no drastic change in his approach- just trusting the process, sticking to the game plan and making sure he stays in rhythm from the get-go.

Axar Patel’s Captaincy Gets A Thumbs Up From Nair

With Axar Patel taking over the captaincy at DC, there is a fresh sense of direction in the team. Nair, for one, believes Axar is the right man for the job.

"Axar has been around for a long time now and he is going to be a great captain. He is someone who knows all the facets of the game and understands everyone's situation and roles. He will be versatile like he is always, looking forward to meet him and know a lot of things,” added Nair.

Patel’s calmness and cricketing brain could be just what DC needs to get over the line this season.

Delhi Capitals' Hunt For Their Maiden IPL Title

DC has come close before, most notably in 2020, when they reached the final but fell short against Mumbai Indians. Since then, it’s been a series of near misses and inconsistent seasons. With Rahul and Nair reunited, alongside a talented squad, DC will once again be dreaming big.
