‘Sab Theek Hai Bhai’: Jasprit Bumrah and Karun Nair Bury the Hatchet After IPL 2025 Clash
NEW DELHI: In a heartwarming turn of events, Indian cricket fans can breathe easy as Jasprit Bumrah and Karun Nair put behind their fiery on-field exchange during an IPL 2025 match on Sunday. A day after the intense moment grabbed headlines, Delhi Capitals (DC) shared a post-match video on their official social media handles, showcasing the two cricketers embracing and chatting with smiles, proving that the heat of the game doesn’t overshadow camaraderie.
The incident unfolded during a high-stakes clash between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. While running between the wickets during his blistering knock of 89 runs off just 40 balls, Nair accidentally collided with Bumrah, who was visibly frustrated. The star pacer didn’t hold back, leading to a heated exchange that had social media buzzing with reactions from fans and pundits alike.
Clips of the altercation went viral, with many speculating about potential bad blood between the players. However, the tension was short-lived. Post-match visuals showed Nair having a brief, respectful conversation with MI captain Hardik Pandya, followed by a warm hug and a light-hearted chat with Bumrah. The phrase ‘Sab Theek Hai Bhai’ seemed to echo through their gestures, reassuring fans that all was well.
On the field, it was Mumbai Indians who emerged victorious, clinching a thrilling 12-run win. MI posted a formidable 205/5 in their 20 overs, powered by Tilak Varma’s composed 59 and significant contributions from Suryakumar Yadav (42) and South African opener Ryan Rickelton (38). Bumrah, living up to his reputation as one of the world’s best, bowled a tight spell, finishing with figures of 2/29 in 4 overs.
Delhi Capitals fought valiantly in their chase, largely due to Nair’s explosive innings, which included 8 fours and 6 sixes. However, despite his heroics, DC fell short at 193 in 19 overs, with MI’s disciplined bowling attack sealing the deal. This match further highlighted Nair’s resurgence, as the Karnataka batter continues to make a strong case for a permanent spot in the DC lineup after a few inconsistent seasons.
The IPL has always been a stage for intense rivalries and passionate encounters, but moments like these remind us of the spirit of cricket. Bumrah, known for his calm demeanor off the field, and Nair, a player fighting to reclaim his peak form, showed that respect and sportsmanship prevail over momentary flare-ups. As the IPL 2025 season progresses, fans will hope for more such displays of skill and unity on and off the field.
