Three PBKS Fielders Drop Sitters in One Match — Lockie Ferguson, Connolly, Shashank vs SRH

Each drop was independently embarrassing. Ferguson, the New Zealand pace bowler, put down a return-catch chance off his own bowling. Connolly, fielding in the deep, misjudged a flat skier and grassed it. Shashank Singh, in the same match, dropped Klaasen off Chahal's bowling on a slog sweep. The pattern in a single match was structural rather than incidental.

Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen, both lifelined by the various drops, made the most of their reprieves. SRH won the match. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, in the post-match presser, used the now-classic line — 'a bit too much dropped catches today' — that became the most-shared quote of the day.
