Ishan Kishan has had an underwhelming IPL 2025 campaign so far.
The ongoing IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Hyderabad witnessed a bizarre incident. Punjab Kings had won the toss and opted to bat first on Saturday.
Mohammed Shami bowled the first over of the match against Punjab Kings. In the second ball of the over, Prabhsimran Singh drove past the bowler for a couple of runs, but one of those runs were short. As a result of this, Punjab Kings added just one run to their total.
However, to add to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s woes was Ishan Kishan’s sloppy fielding in the same over. Kishan lost the ball while running along the sponsor mat, and despite spotting the ball, Kishan wasn’t able to stop it. Pat Cummins had to rush towards Kishan and collect the ball.
Prabhsimran Singh was dismissed for 42 runs in the seventh over whereas his opening partner Priyansh Arya was out for 36 three overs earlier.
