IPL 2026, DC vs PBKS: The performance of Punjab Kings in IPL 2026 has been very strong so far. The team has not faced defeat in a single match. In such a situation, everyone is praising the Punjab team. But one player of the team is becoming a big tension for the management. The fielding of this player has been very bad and he is continuously dropping catches. In the 35th match of the season, against Delhi Capitals, this player was also seen making a mistake in fielding. Which made Punjab Kings bowler Arshdeep Singh very angry.

A moment came in the third over of this match which caught everyone's attention. Arshdeep Singh bowled a short ball against Delhi Capitals opener KL Rahul. Rahul tried to play a pull shot, due to which the ball rose high in the air and went towards deep square leg. This catch looked quite easy. Punjab Kings fielder Shashank Singh was in a good position near the boundary. But the ball slipped from his hands and went beyond the boundary. Arshdeep Singh started celebrating in the hope of getting a wicket, but when he missed the catch, his enthusiasm was cut short.
He looked surprised and angry.😦😧😮 #ShashankSingh has dropped yet another catch and this time it's #KLRahul! 🥲

Shashank Singh had proved to be a weak link in fielding in the last match also.
He dropped 3 catches against Lucknow. In this match also he started with a catch drop. That means he has dropped 4 consecutive catches in 2 matches, during which he has not taken even a single catch. Team owner Preity Zinta also appeared angry on this poor fielding of Shashank Singh. At the same time, coach Ricky Ponting sitting in the dugout also appeared angry.3 chances given to LSG batsmen
On April 19, Shashank Singh's Lucknow batsmen were given 3 chances. He took the first catch of LSG batsman Nicholas Pooran on the ball of Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over.
After this, he missed the opportunity to catch Aiden Markram in the 18th over. Then in the 19th over, Shashank Singh took the third catch of LSG's Mukul Chaudhary.
