Tue Apr 29 16:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Karun Nair’s Stunning Run-Out Steals the Show in RCB’s IPL Victory

**Delhi, India** – Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) secured a thrilling six-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in a nail-biting IPL 2025 match, but the game is being remembered as much for a spectacular run-out as for the win itself. While Virat Kohli’s 51 runs anchored RCB’s chase, it was Karun Nair’s lightning-fast throw from the non-striker’s end that captivated the audience and social media.

RCB’s top order struggled early, with captain Rajat Patidar dismissed for just 6 runs. However, it was the manner of his dismissal that has gone viral. Facing Mukesh Kumar in the fourth over, Patidar attempted a single, but Virat Kohli, at the other end, surprisingly called him back. Seizing the opportunity, Karun Nair, positioned perfectly, unleashed a direct hit, shattering the stumps and sending Patidar packing. The speed and accuracy of the throw were exceptional, given the challenging angle.

The run-out sparked a flurry of praise for Nair on social media, with many fans calling for his return to the Indian national team. Nair, who has seen limited opportunities in recent years, showed his value with this exceptional display of fielding. While he only contributed 4 runs with the bat, his impact on the game was undeniable.

Despite losing three crucial wickets for just 26 runs, including Patidar’s run out, RCB recovered thanks to a crucial 119-run partnership between Kohli and Krunal Pandya (73*). Pandya’s unbeaten 73 guided RCB to victory, solidifying their position at the top of the points table. However, the highlight of the match, undoubtedly, remains Karun Nair’s sensational run-out.
