Sunrisers Hyderabad's IPL 2026 produced internal franchise discussion about whether Ishan Kishan should take over the SRH captaincy from Pat Cummins.

Ishan Kishan was lifelined by a PBKS dropped catch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on 6 May 2026 and converted the reprieve into a sixty that helped SRH win comfortably. The drop joined the same match's catalogue of three different PBKS fielders putting down catches — the season's most public single-match collapse of the visiting franchise's fielding standards.
