IPL 2026: In disbelief! Yuzvendra Chahal's reaction to dropped catches goes viral - Watch
Yuzvendra Chahal endured a frustrating night as Punjab Kings dropped multiple catches off his bowling during the loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH batters Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan capitalised on the missed chances to help post 235 runs. Chahal now has six dropped catches off his bowling this IPL season, the most for any bowler in IPL 2026.
NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal had a frustrating outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad after his teammates repeatedly dropped catches off his bowling. SRH batters made full use of those missed chances and piled up a huge total of 235 on a batting-friendly Hyderabad pitch. The dropped catches became a major talking point, especially because Chahal had created several wicket-taking opportunities.
However, Punjab’s poor fielding let the match slip away. Statistics showed that six catches have now been dropped off Chahal’s bowling this IPL season — the highest for any bowler in IPL 2026. Shashank Singh was at the centre of the fielding troubles, accounting for four dropped catches this season, the second-most by any fielder in the tournament.
During the SRH match, he dropped a straightforward chance offered by Heinrich Klaasen at deep backward square leg. Instead of a wicket, the ball slipped away for four runs, adding to Punjab’s misery. The dropped catch left Chahal in disbelief, with his reaction going viral across social media platforms.
Watch: — StarSportsIndia (@StarSportsIndia) Klaasen and Ishan Kishan both survived after chances were missed off Chahal’s bowling and went on to punish Punjab heavily. Their innings helped SRH post a massive score that proved too difficult to chase. On a surface where bowlers had very little help, fielding mistakes became even more costly.
