WATCH: Ishan Kishan loses track of the ball in comedy of errors during SRH vs PBKS match at IPL 2025

In Match 27 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, Punjab Kings skipper won the toss and elected to bat first. But it wasn’t the cricketing skills that stole the limelight early on — it was a bizarre and hilarious moment involving SRH player Ishan Kishan.

Ishan Kishan’s hilarious fielding gaffe

The incident occurred on the second ball of the opening over when Mohammed Shami bowled a length delivery around off-stump to PBKS opener Prabhsimran Singh. The batter gently drove the ball past the bowler, and it seemed like a straightforward stop for the fielder — until it wasn’t.

Kishan, stationed mid-off, moved towards the ball but surprisingly failed to spot it even though it was lying right beside him. The confusion continued for a few seconds until SRH captain Pat Cummins ran in and picked up the ball, bringing the moment to a comical end. The commentators and fans were left in splits as replays showed Kishan cluelessly searching for the ball. Many speculated that the ball blended with the patchy ground, causing a camouflage effect that led to Kishan’s confusion.
