Karun Nair’s witty reply to Shardul Thakur’s taunt during a practice session ahead of the Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals match left everyone in splits. The incident, captured and shared by Delhi Capitals, went viral on social media, with fans calling it the “moment of the season.” In the video, DC captain Axar Patel is seen jokingly interacting with Shardul, referring to him as “The Lord.” Shardul then teases Nair about sharing the nets, to which Nair responds with a clever comeback, leaving Axar and Shardul laughing.
Despite being dismissed for 15 runs in the match, Nair’s quick start alongside Abishek Porel set the stage for Delhi’s successful chase. Rahul’s unbeaten 57 and Porel’s 51 also contributed to the victory, with Axar chipping in with 34 runs. Delhi’s win against Lucknow Super Giants propelled them to second place in the points table.
Seam bowler Mukesh Kumar’s four-wicket haul played a crucial role in restricting Lucknow to a below-par total of 159-6. Delhi Capitals bounced back from their previous defeat to Gujarat Titans, securing their sixth win in eight matches. Nair’s on-field performance, coupled with his off-field banter, added to the team’s success in the ongoing tournament.
