Yuzvendra Chahal is so unlucky! (PC-PTI)

Punjab Kings Fielding: Punjab Kings may be on top in the points table of IPL 2026 but this team is the worst in terms of fielding. The proof of this is its match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in which its players missed 3 easy catches and one stumping. You will be surprised to know that the players of Punjab gave not one, not two but three chances to Ishan Kishan. Not only Ishan Kishan but Heinrich Klaasen also had an easy catch.

Which players dropped the catch?

Ishan Kishan got his first lease of life on a personal score of 9 runs. Cooper Conley dropped an easy catch on the ball of Loki Ferguson. Ishan Kishan again missed the catch on the personal score of 18 runs and this time this mistake was made by Loki Ferguson. When Ishan Kishan was on 20 runs, Prabhasimran missed his stumping on the ball of Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuzvendra Chahal was cheated so big that it is difficult to describe it. Apart from Ishan Kishan getting two chances on Chahal's ball, Heinrich Klaasen also missed the catch. This catch was taken by Shashank Singh, at that time this player was playing on 9 runs.

Is Yuzvendra Chahal so unlucky?

You will be surprised to know that Yuzvendra Chahal has lost 8 wickets this season. Yuzvendra Chahal has missed 7 catches in IPL 2026. Apart from this, a stumping was also missed on his ball. Let us tell you that this season only Punjab batsman Shashank Singh has dropped 6 catches. This season, Punjab's catch rate is only 70 percent. Meaning this team is giving up 30 percent catches. If Punjab's performance continues like this, then its dream of winning the IPL will remain just a dream.

Punjab's head coach Ricky Ponting was also surprised to see the poor fielding. Ricky Ponting said during the live match that he feels like the virus of dropping catches has spread in the Punjab team. According to him, by leaving such opportunities the match gets lost.
