The dynamic right-hander slammed a fiery 22-ball fifty.
Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Karun Nair played a blistering knock tonight against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
The dynamic right-hander slammed a 22-ball fifty, scoring a fiery 89 (40) although it came in a losing cause in the end. At one point, MI were looking clueless as Nair took MI bowlers to the cleaners.
Speaking about Nair’s knock, opposition skipper Hardik Pandya said during the post-match presentation,
“He (Karun) was batting brilliantly, it seemed like it was going out of hand. (On Karn Sharma) Shows great character, to be brave and toss it up when the boundaries are just 60m long. We never gave up, we kept saying we want to stay in the contest. Everyone put their hand up and we were able to hold on to our chances.”
