Ishan Kishan appeared to take a cheeky dig at Punjab Kings after Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a commanding 33-run victory in IPL 2026. Kishan played a crucial knock of 55 off 32 balls, but the innings could have ended much earlier as Punjab Kings handed him three lifelines during the match. Over 7.
1: Cooper Connolly dropped a straightforward catch at deep backward square off Lockie Ferguson when Kishan was batting on 9. Over 11: Ferguson missed another opportunity at deep midwicket off Yuzvendra Chahal with Kishan on 18. In the same over, wicketkeeper Prabhsimran Singh also failed to complete a stumping chance against the SRH batter.
Punjab’s costly fielding lapses proved decisive as SRH piled up a massive 235/4 in their 20 overs. In reply, Punjab Kings fell well short, managing only 202/7 despite a fighting effort. After the match, Kishan added salt to Punjab’s wounds with a viral Instagram post.
Sharing pictures from the game, the SRH wicketkeeper captioned the post: “Catch me, if you can” - a playful reference to the multiple chances PBKS failed to convert.
