A crucial mix-up between Delhi Capitals' Karun Nair and Abishek Porel led to Nair's dismissal in the IPL match against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 16, 2025.
Sandeep Sharma's angled delivery from around the stumps tempted Porel to pull, but the left-hander could only manage a bottom edge, sending the ball towards backward point. As Porel watched the ball, Nair had already started running down the pitch, but the communication breakdown proved costly. The throw from Wanindu Hasaranga reached Sandeep Sharma who hit the stumps, and Nair, realizing his mistake late, was unable to make it back in time.
The run-out could have a significant impact on the match, as Delhi Capitals will rue the missed opportunity and the importance of batting partnerships. The match promises to be an intense battle between the two teams.
