“Honestly, I had the hope that I played [IPL] Prior to this, I knew what it would be like, it was no different that I was going to face… (not) nothing new. So, in my mind, it is about going there and giving a few balls and getting used to the speed and atmosphere of the game again, ”Nair said about his thinking process in the game against Mumbai, which was his first match to Delhi in 2025.
