Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Karun Nair pulled off an incredible save near the boundary ropes in the match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) today (may 24) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
The incident happened on the final ball of the 15th over. Mohi Sharma bowled a back of a length delivery outside off to Shashank Singh which he pulled towards long-on and was almost going to cross the ropes before Nair managed to stop it. He almost got a really good boundary catch but his left leg seemed to touch the cushion and Nair signalled a six.
Nair was on one leg, his weight was falling to the left as he took the catch with both hands. However, from the replays, it looked like the foot didn’t step on the cushion as he overbalanced on leg and threw the ball back in. In the end, it was adjudged just a single.
