Karun Nair's scintillating fifty against MI goes in vain

In the recent past, Karun Nair has been batting like a dream, having scored tons of runs in domestic cricket across formats and tournaments, even in white-ball cricket. Coming into the IPL this year, he has been in blistering form and carried the same when given an opportunity.

Brought into the playing 11 as an Impact Sub for the game against MI, Nair ensured he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. He smashed 89 runs off just 40 balls, as Delhi chased 206. His knock kept the hosts in the hunt, and it looked like they would run away with the game at one stage.

The right-hander slammed 12 fours and five sixes at a strike-rate of 222.5, where he also took Jasprit Bumrah on. His knock did not prove to be enough, as Delhi fell short by 12 runs. Nonetheless, it was a brilliant display of the form that he is in at the moment.
