Karun Nair hit brilliantly, scoring 89 runs only 40 balls with 12 four and five six.
Delhi Capitals (DC) lost his party against the Indians of Mumbai (MI) at Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi. However, what caught everyone’s attention was a shortened moment between Jasprit Bumrah and Karun Nair during the Mumbai bowling alley.
In the last PowerPlay game, Karun Nair attacked Bumrah and scored 18 races, hitting two six and four. While they ran between the WICKETS, the two raised accidentally, which led to some tension. Karun apologized immediately, but Bumrah didn’t seem very happy and left to talk to him.
Karun tried to explain that he was not intentional and was seen by the captain of my hardik Pandya. The incident reached the headlines, especially because Karun, who returns to the IPL after three years, had just faced one of the best bowling players in the world.
The former captain of me, Rohit Sharma, also had a cheerful reaction to the incident, as he was seen jokingly imitating the exchange with a smile.

Rayudu breakd down the Bumrah-Karun incident
The former CSK star, Ambati Rayudu, said that both players were in their positions during that attempt at two races, since the bowling player has the right to approach the stumps. After the blow, it seemed that Bumrah was telling Karun that it was his space, not Karun’s. Meanwhile, Karun was seen explaining to Hardik that there was almost no space and that he had to enter in some way. Rayudu also pointed out how Rohit Sharma lightened the moment joking that Karun was now playing with Bumrah.
“Look at that two -run attempt: both players were in their own positions, since the bowling player has the right to approach the stumps. After the blow, Bumrah seemed to be saying: ‘That is my space, not yours.’ Karun replied:” There was hardly any space, Hardik. And then there is Rohit, joking and saying: ‘Brother, you are playing with Bumrah now!’ “Rayudu said.
Karun Nair hit brilliantly, scoring 89 runs only 40 balls with 12 four and five six. However, his effort was not enough since Delhi Capitals ended up losing to the Mumbai Indians for 12 races.
