Jasprit Bumrah in Trouble as Karun Nair Unleashes 8-Ball Fury with 2 Sixes and 3 Fours

Karun Nair etched his name in the record books after his explosive performance against the Mumbai Indians in the current edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 held at Delhi Capitals' home ground yesterday. Karun reminded everyone the reason that why Arun Jaitley Stadium is known for its high-scoring matches. With shorter boundaries & a smooth batting surface, the venue is a paradise for batsmen, & Karun took full advantage of these situations.

As Delhi chased a difficult target of 206 runs, they quickly lost their underperforming opener, Jake Fraser-McGurk. Karun was introduced as an impact substitute & he effortlessly changed the dynamics of the match.

He unleashed a wonderful range of shots from his extensive repertoire and tilted the momentum in favor of Delhi. He went on the attack during the powerplay, capitalizing on the pitch _ smashing everything that came his way, no matter the bowler's reputation. After showcasing his thrilling batting display, Karun became only the second player from Delhi to score over 50 runs in the powerplay of an IPL match. The young Australian Fraser-McGurk is the only other player to achieve this feat, having done it 2 times in the previous edition of the lucrative league.

Karun reached his half-century in just 22 balls, with much of the damage caused upon Mumbai's leading bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. Regarded as one of the best fast bowlers in the world today, Nair deciphered Bumrah's deliveries very easily. He struck three fours & two sixes off him in just 8 deliveries.
