All eyes were on Karun Nair as Delhi Capitals are currently taking on Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in IPL 2025. Nair made his comeback in DC's last match against Mumbai Indians, and immediately made an impact as he scored his first half-century in 7 years. He smashed 89 from 40 balls in that game. However, he could not continue his rich vein of form in the match vs RR as he got out for a duck.

Karun Nair was involved in a horrible mix-up in the middle of the pitch with Abhishek Porel. He tried to run and went almost to the middle of the pitch. However, Hasaranga threw the ball to the non-striker's end, with bowler Sandeep Sharma collecting it and helping it to the wicket. The replays showed that he was well short of the crease.

After Nair went back in to the dressing room, he looked visibly disappointed with himself. In fact, replays showed that he almost punched his chair in frustration.

Delhi Capitals got off to a good start with Abhishek Porel playing some shots. However, they lost their first wicket in the third over as Jake Fraser-McGurk continued his poor form with a 9-run innings. Karun Nair was run out due to a horrible mix up in the middle. He departed for a duck after scoring 89 vs MI. KL Rahul and Porel then put on a big half-century stand for the third wicket, before Rahul departed for 34 runs. Porel departed shortly after, as he missed his half-century by one run.

The Capitals then accelerated in the final five overs of the innings, scoring 77 runs. Captain Axar Patel slammed 34 from 14 balls. Tristan Stubbs also hit 34 from 18 as Delhi Capitals scored 188/5 at the end of 20 overs.
