Karun Nair is the Indian batter who has played me best, says Trent Boult

Deadly Rajasthan Royals pacer Trent Boult has said that Karun Nair is the Indian batter who plays him the best. He feels that his Royals teammate has the ability to face his deliveries perfectly and said that he plays him the best during the net session.

Boult has been a prolific bowler and has fulfilled his job to perfection – be it in the opening stage of the game, or during the finishing stages. His numbers are enough to speak for him. Talking about his numbers in India’s premier event, he accounts for 84 wickets in 70 games that he has played thus far.

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, when he was asked which Indian batter has played him the best, he named his teammate Karun Nair as he said: “I haven’t bowl to Karun Nair in a game but he has the ability to pick any kind of ball I throw at him in the nets so at the moment I’m going to say, Karun Nair.”
