Karun Nair gets himself back into IPL scene with record-breaking Maharaja campaign

The Mysore skipper ended up making some statement, finishing the competition with a whopping 560 runs at an average of 56.00.

The third edition of the Maharaja Trophy concluded on September 1 (Sunday) and it was the Mysore Warriors who were crowned champions, with them triumphing over the Bengaluru Blasters to lift the title for the first time in their history.

Fittingly, the Warriors were propelled to the title by their skipper Karun Nair, who hammered his sixth fifty of the season in the final to complete a record-breaking campaign.

Nair, who went unsold at the 2024 IPL auction, walked into Maharaja Trophy 2024 with a point to prove. And the Mysore skipper ended up making some statement, finishing the competition with a whopping 560 runs at an average of 56.00.

The highlight of Nair’s campaign was undoubtedly the 124* (48) he smashed against Mangaluru Dragons, which was the highest individual score in the history of the competition. But that was far from the only record the 32-year-old set in the competition. 

He registered a campaign for the ages to get right back into the IPL picture.
