It was a fiery evening in the IPL on Sunday as Jasprit Bumrah and Karun Nair got into a tense moment during the Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals match.
Karun Nair, making a surprise return to the playing XI after an injury to Faf du Plessis, lit up the game with a stunning 89 off just 40 balls. His knock nearly pulled off a big chase for Delhi, but Mumbai held on for a tight 12-run win.
But the big talking point wasn’t just Karun’s batting—it was a heated exchange with Bumrah mid-game. While running a double, Karun accidentally bumped into the MI pacer. Bumrah didn’t take it well, and despite Karun’s apology, the fast bowler wasn’t having any of it.
Karun even went over to Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya after the match to explain himself, but Bumrah stayed stone-faced. Many fans online thought Bumrah overreacted—especially since he had just been smashed around the park by Karun before the incident.
To add a more lighter touch to the drama, Rohit Sharma also submitted a cheeky response when observing the incident from the dugout, and this further lightened the mood. A clip of Rohit’s animated reaction went viral on social media in no time.

Karun’s heroics may not have earned Delhi the win, but they definitely put his name back in the mix. After a strong domestic season in both the Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy, this knock was a clear message to selectors: he’s not done yet—and he’s added T20 firepower to his game.
