IPL 2026 isn't just about cricket; the tournament is also witnessing a unique blend of entertainment and sports. Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda visited the Star Sports studios during the high-scoring match between the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals. He promoted the second season of his upcoming web series, "Inspector Avinash," but during the conversation, he made a statement that caught everyone's attention.

Why did Randeep Hooda get scared after seeing cricketers?

Former Indian cricketers Irfan Pathan and Mohammad Kaif were also present in the studio with Randeep Hooda. The discussion was focusing on player fitness and fielding for IPL 2026. During the discussion, Randeep asked Mohammad Kaif why so many catches are being dropped this season.

Answering this question, Kaif said that it's more difficult to maintain consistent energy in fielding than in batting and bowling. Sometimes, players' intensity drops, resulting in easy catches being dropped.

After hearing Kaif's response, Randeep Hooda jokingly remarked that there's not much difference between cricketers and actors anymore. He added that today's players appear very confident in front of the camera and know exactly which camera to look at when. Randeep laughed and said that he felt his job was in danger because of this.

Poor fielding was also seen in the PBKS vs DC match

Fielding was also a major topic of discussion in the match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings . Punjab dropped two crucial catches during the match, resulting in their defeat.

During Delhi's innings, Arshdeep Singh dropped a catch off Tristan Stubbs, and later, Shedges failed to grab a simple chance off Axar Patel. Both batsmen capitalized on these opportunities and put Delhi in a strong position.

Delhi Capitals registered a resounding win

Talking about the match, Punjab Kings batted first and scored 210 runs in 20 overs. In response, Delhi Capitals batted brilliantly and achieved the target with one over to spare.

Delhi Capitals' victory was aided by superb innings from captain Axar Patel and David Miller. With this win, Delhi consolidated their position in the tournament, while Punjab's poor fielding cost them dearly.
