Shashank Singh: The 49th match of IPL 2026 was played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. In this match, the poor fielding of Punjab all-rounder Shashank Singh has once again attracted everyone’s attention. This season, Shashank’s poor fielding has been a constant headache for the team. Even in the match against Hyderabad, he repeated his mistake and missed an easy catch of Heinrich Klaasen.

Shashank Singh again dropped an easy catch

Hyderabad made a stormy start against Punjab Kings and scored 94 runs losing 2 wickets in 8 overs. After this, star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal came to bowl the 9th over. Chahal had made complete arrangements to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen on the fourth ball of the over, but Shashank Singh standing on the boundary line once again disappointed everyone by giving up an easy catch. Shashank not only gave life to Klaasen by dropping his catch but also gave away 4 runs.

Ricky Ponting’s reaction goes viral

Team head coach Ricky Ponting’s reaction has come to light after Shashank dropped the easy catch. The boys are working hard, but nothing is going in our favour. We are trying our best with Shashank and he also dropped a catch here. It is expected that Klaasen will be out soon because he is a very dangerous batsman in T20. We are not making any excuses here, when catches are so easily available, we should capitalize on them. Absolutely no excuse. Many catches have been dropped and Shashank has also dropped many of them. Hopefully we will be able to perform something good.

Sitting out of 2 matches due to poor fielding

Let us tell you, this season Shashank Singh has been a constant topic of discussion due to his poor fielding. In the last several matches, he has dropped many easy catches, which also includes 3 catches against Lucknow Super Giants. Apart from this, he also dropped a catch against Delhi Capitals. Now, by dropping another catch against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he has increased the problems of his team. Due to continuous poor fielding, Shashank had to sit out the last 2 matches, now even after his return he has repeated the same mistake.
