Over the past two Ranji Trophy seasons, Nair's form has not just revived his career but has been pivotal in Vidarbha's rise

Root's catch of Nair was his 211th catch in Test cricket, as he now surpasses Rahul Dravid to become the most successful outfield player in red-ball cricket

Nair, who went viral after his tweet asking cricket for one more chance, was added to the Indian Test squad for England after his brilliant run with the bat in the domestic circuit

With Shubman Gill now preferred at No. 3 and KL Rahul settled as an opener, Nair's experience and recent form make him a strong candidate for the pivotal middle-order role.

The 33-year-old went on an all-out assault during the powerplay, particularly targeting Mumbai's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

In between the overs Bumrah was also seen indulging in a heated moment with the DC batter as both players came close to each other and had to be separated by their teammates.

After a dazzling show in domestic cricket where he excelled in different formats, premier batter Karun Nair is confident of reclaiming his India cap but won't speculate much on his comeback to the national fold. Nair also wants to carry his spectacular form into the upcoming IPL season and help Delhi Capitals win their maiden title.

Karun Nair on Saturday backed Vidarbha to come good against Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final owing to their ability to fight back from tough situations, an attribute that the two-time winners displayed against Madhya Pradesh in the semifinal. Vidarbha bounced back strongly in the second innings after being bowled out for a mere 170 in the first to win by 62 runs, setting up the final against Mumbai which starts here on Sunday. "The thrilling and close win against Madhya Pradesh really showed the character in the team, a lot of fighting ability," Nair told PTI Video in an exclusive interview here at the Wankhede Stadium. "We have always come back from difficult situations, that was another difficult situation (first innings against Madhya Pradesh) where we didn't play quite well to our potential in the first innings, but we came back really hard and won that game," he said.
