New Delhi. Karun Nair, who scored centuries in domestic cricket, has made a comeback in IPL. This batsman, who could not make a place in Team India despite scoring thousands of runs, thrashed Jasprit Bumrah in a way which is rarely seen. Karun Nair, who returned to IPL after three years, scored a fifty in 22 balls for Delhi Capitals. See the coincidence that he played a stormy innings against Mumbai Indians, in which all the captains of the ODI-Test and T20 team of the Indian team were playing.
Two matches were played in IPL 2025 on Sunday. In the first match, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Rajasthan Royals by 9 wickets. The second match of the day was played for Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians batted first in this match and scored 205 runs for 5 wickets. Delhi Capitals also gave a great reply to this.
Nair's first match after 2022
Delhi Capitals got off to a bad start while chasing the target of 206 runs. Opener Jack Fraser McGurk was out on the very first ball. Delhi replaced him with the batsman who had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time. Karun Nair, who came at number three, made such a blast as soon as he came, which surprised Mumbai Indians. Karun Nair was playing his first match after 2022.
26 runs off 9 balls from Bumrah
Karun Nair opened his account on the very first ball as soon as he came. After this, his bat performed so well that all the tricks of Mumbai Indians bowlers became useless. Karun Nair hit three fours in the first over of Trent Boult. But this was just like a trailer. The whole movie of Karun Nair's rebirth came in Jaspreet Bumrah's over. Karun Nair, who had once scored a triple century for Team India, hit 26 runs on 9 balls of Bumrah. This included 3 fours and 2 sixes.
Bumrah got angry due to the collision
Karun Nair and Jaspreet Bumrah also collided fiercely in the match, after which the star bowler looked very angry. When Karun was turning for the second run, he collided with bowler Bumrah standing near the stumps. However, Karun Nair immediately apologized to Bumrah but the Indian pacer did not accept it. During the strategic break, Jaspreet Bumrah was seen saying to Karun in anger. After this, Karun Nair and Hardik Pandya were seen together. It seemed as if Karun was clarifying that the collision was not intentional and Pandya was saying that it is okay…
Halt a half-century after 7 years
Karun Nair was moving towards a century in the match but Mitchell Santner came in his way. A turning ball from Santner took away his bails. Karun was out after scoring 89 runs in 40 balls. He hit 12 fours and 5 sixes in his innings. This was Karun Nair's first half-century in IPL after 7 years. He had earlier hit a fifty in 2018.
