IPL 2025: Karun Nair loses cool in dressing room after disastrous run-out vs RR

On Wednesday, April 16, during Match 32 of the current Indian Premier League between the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Karun Nair was observed venting his annoyance in the dressing room following his dismissal via a run-out. The latter was brought to an end by a horrible misunderstanding between Karun Nair and striker Abishek Porel.

After an unfortunate misunderstanding with Porel, the hitter, fresh off a tremendous 89-run knock, was run-out at the non-striker’s end.

Sandeep Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga took care of the rest, forcing Karun Nair to walk back for a three-ball duck.

In a fit of rage, he was seen screaming and flinging his gloves on the ground.

DC ended up posting 188/5 at the end of 20 overs. Abishek Porel top-scored for the hosts with 49 (37) to his name. Axar Patel’s 34-run cameo off just 14 deliveries elevated his side to a much more respectable score than what was projected at the halfway stage. Tristan Stubbs ended the innings in style. The South African dynamic batter got to 34* off only 18 balls.

As for RR, Jofra Archer ended up securing a two-fer. The pace-bowling spearhead conceded 32 runs in his four overs. Tushar Deshpande’s three overs ended up yielding 38 runs. The right-arm medium pacer proved to be the most expensive bowler for the visitors. The Sri Lankan duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga gave away 40 and 38 runs in their respective four overs. Sandeep Sharma, who at one point had conceded only 14 runs in his first three, ended up with figures of 0/33 in his entire quota.
