Karun Nair announced his return to the IPL in style as he took on one of the best in the business — Jasprit Bumrah — with a towering six that left fans stunned and his teammates on their feet.

In the 6th over of Delhi Capitals’ innings against Mumbai Indians on Saturday (April 13), Nair was batting on 42 when Bumrah delivered a slower one around off, pitched up invitingly. With complete control and composure, Nair stepped forward and lofted the ball elegantly over long-off for a huge six, showing no signs of rust in his comeback game.

The maximum not only brought the crowd to life but also took Nair within touching distance of a long-awaited IPL half-century — one he later completed in just 22 balls, his first since 2018.

It was a special moment — a seasoned domestic campaigner dismantling India’s pace spearhead with grace and authority. This six wasn’t just about runs; it was a statement that Karun Nair, after over 1,000 days away from the league, is back and ready to dominate.
