"There's No Value For Me...": Karun Nair's Remarks On Own Batting Sum Up His Mentality

Back into the Indian Premier League after a 2-year hiatus, Karun Nair marked his return to the T20 league with a superb knock for Delhi Capitals, but despite being away from the league for two seasons, he always knew what to expect from the opposition in terms of quality having been there and done that earlier too.

"See, there's no benefits in talking about that. I did play well, but my team lost the match, so it really doesn't matter. There's no value for me of such innings if my team can't win," Karun said in the press conference.
