Delhi Capitals batter Karun Nair was on the receiving end of brutal trolling after dropping two regulation catches of Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer, costing his side dearly in a high-scoring IPL 2026 clash. In the space of just four deliveries, Karun dropped Shreyas on 28 at long-off, and again on 35 at long-on, inadvertently allowing PBKS to chase a record 265 on a docile track. Karun’s dropped catches proved costly, as Shreyas went on to smash an unbeaten 71 off just 36 balls.

Following Karun’s horror show at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, fans mocked the veteran batter by resurfacing an old, emotional post. 

Back in 2022, Karun had famously tweeted: “Dear cricket, give me one more chance.”

Here’s how internet reacted:

In the first incident, Shreyas mistimed a shot off Vipraj Nigam toward long-off. Karun settled under the ball but was unable to hold on.

Four balls later, Shreyas miscued once again-this time off a delivery from Kuldeep Yadav-but Karun spilled the chance yet again.

Meanwhile, Shreyas has been sensational for PBKS this season, scoring 279 runs in seven matches and six innings at an average of 69.75 and a strike rate of 186.00, including four fifties and a best score of 71*.

Since joining the franchise last year, he has made 886 runs in 24 matches and 23 innings at an average of 55.18 and a strike rate of 178.38, including 10 fifties, marking an era of transformation for his T20 game.
