Ishan Kishan's PBKS Lifeline at Hyderabad — A Drop, a Sixty, an SRH Win

6 May 2026Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab KingsIPL 2026 — Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings1 min readSeverity: Mild

Summary

Ishan Kishan was lifelined by a PBKS dropped catch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on 6 May 2026 and converted the reprieve into a sixty that helped SRH win comfortably. The drop joined the same match's catalogue of three different PBKS fielders putting down catches — the season's most public single-match collapse of the visiting franchise's fielding standards.

What Happened

Kishan, in the early stages of his innings, was put down by a PBKS fielder. The drop was the kind of routine chance that international cricket assumes is a wicket. Kishan, granted the reprieve, settled into his innings and built a sixty that anchored SRH's chase.

The match produced three separate PBKS drops — by Lockie Ferguson, Aaron Connolly and Shashank Singh — and Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen both took advantage of their respective lifelines. SRH won comfortably. The PBKS dressing room, by all reports, was quiet.

Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans

25 April 2026

In the 18th over of CSK's innings against Gujarat Titans, Kartik Sharma top-edged a pull off Kagiso Rabada that hung in the Chennai air for what felt like an eternity. Rashid Khan, sprinting from deep midwicket, and Manav Suthar, sprinting from deep square leg, both arrived at the same point at the same instant. Neither called. Neither took the catch. The ball landed between them as they collided gently and the broadcast feed cut to two grown international cricketers laughing at themselves on the outfield.

Quinton de Kock's Six Knocks Over a TV Set in MI Practice — IPL 2026

Mumbai Indians

29 April 2026

A pre-match practice session at the Wankhede produced one of IPL 2026's most circulated bystander clips. Quinton de Kock, in middle practice ahead of a Mumbai Indians home game, hit a towering straight six that cleared the practice area and headed for the back wall. A ball boy, repositioning behind the boundary, attempted a leaping catch and instead caught his shoulder against a TV set on a stand, sending the monitor toppling onto the grass. The ball, untouched, rolled away. The TV survived. The clip did not.

Arshdeep Singh Roasts Shashank Singh in Airport-Lounge Clip — IPL 2026

Punjab Kings

1 May 2026

A 38-second clip of Punjab Kings' Arshdeep Singh roasting teammate Shashank Singh in an airport lounge became one of IPL 2026's most-shared off-field moments. The premise was Shashank's run of dropped catches across the season — including the now-notorious drop of KL Rahul on 12, who went on to make 150-plus. Arshdeep, on camera, asks Shashank to demonstrate his catching technique using a coffee cup; the bit lands, both players laugh, and the clip is uploaded by a teammate before the squad has cleared security.
