In the 66th match of IPL 2025, Karun Nair did something on the last ball of the 15th over, which everyone was surprised to see. Shashank Singh played a strong bridge shot on Mohit Sharma’s ball, which Karun Nair, standing on long on, jumped into the air. But to not cross the boundary, he threw the ball back into the ground.
Even everything was fine, but after this Karun Nair raised both hands up and indicated a six. What was it then, the umpires took the help of the third umpire. It was not clear in the replay whether Nair’s foot touched from the boundary line or not, so the third umpire considered the ball as ‘in play’ and the batsman got only one run.
