NEW DELHI: Veteran batter Karun Nair is brimming with confidence as he gears up for the upcoming IPL<\/a> season after a phenomenal run in domestic cricket. The experienced right-hander, who has been a crucial player for Vidarbha, is determined to replicate his sensational form and help his team secure their first IPL title.

With such impressive performances, Nair caught the attention of IPL franchises, and Delhi Capitals secured his services for Rs 50 lakh ahead of the new season. Speaking to the media, Nair expressed his excitement about returning to the Delhi camp.
“I am really happy to be back at the Delhi Capitals. I am excited to join the side and to play with everyone. I will treat the game as important as the last one. I didn\u2019t change much at all, I just trusted the process and kept it going throughout the tournament and that\u2019s what was planned for this season,” Nair said. <\/p>\n

Discussing his approach to the IPL, Nair emphasised the importance of adapting quickly and maintaining his rhythm.
“I will find my process, my rhythm as soon as I can and will try to start well early, then get better as the tournament goes on. The only thing that I have done is play according to the situation, added a few shots, and built the confidence to execute them when needed. I also now try to stay relaxed,” he added.
Nair also expressed his admiration for Delhi Capitals\u2019 newly appointed captain Axar Patel<\/a>, lauding his leadership skills and cricketing acumen.
“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\u2019s situation and roles. He will be versatile like he always is, and I am looking forward to meeting him and learning a lot,” Nair remarked.
He is also excited to reunite with his long-time teammate KL Rahul<\/a>.
“It is exciting to be back with KL (Rahul). 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. The plan will be to replicate the past success we had domestically here for the Delhi Capitals and hope that Delhi can win its first title,” Nair stated.<\/p>\n
