‘Dear Cricket…’ – Karun Nair’s Viral Tweet Resurfaces After Stunning IPL Comeback with First Half-Century in 7 Years
Karun Nair’s first IPL half-century in 7 years goes viral, as his old tweet asking for a chance resurfaces.
Karun Nair made a sensational comeback in the IPL, smashing his first half-century in seven years, and in style. Coming in as an impact player for Delhi Capitals (DC) in their match against Mumbai Indians (MI), Nair tore into Jasprit Bumrah, taking 18 runs off one over, which included two sixes and two boundaries.
His explosive knock of 89 runs from 40 balls, including 12 boundaries and 5 sixes, helped DC to a strong chase of 206, with 72 runs coming in the powerplay alone.
Nair’s remarkable innings showed that his form in domestic cricket for Vidarbha had clearly carried over into the biggest T20 league.
As Nair’s explosive performance lit up the IPL, an old tweet of his from December 10, 2022, went viral. The tweet read, “Dear cricket, give me one more chance.🤞🏽”.
This tweet became a symbol of his determination and longing for a comeback, and now, with his powerful innings, Nair seems to have answered his own call.
His successful return to IPL cricket has certainly captured the attention of fans, who are excited to see him back at his best after a long wait.
Nair’s return to form not only served as a reminder of his potential but also of the resilience that players like him possess.
His performance in the IPL 2025 match will undoubtedly make that tweet from December 2022 even more meaningful, as he shows the world what he’s truly capable of after years of waiting for his moment.
