Double Blow! Praful Hinge Rocks GT Early in Ahmedabad

A brilliant strike from SRH bowler Praful Hinge has put the Gujarat Titans in back foot during the IPL 2026 game played on May 13 at Ahmedabad. He picked the wickets of Shubman Gill (5) and Jos Buttler (7) cheaply, leaking only 10 runs in the two overs he bowled in the power play. After being invited to bat first, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill opened the innings while Pat Cummins opened the bowling attack. The openers did not get a required start as Praful Hinge bagged the wicket of Shubman Gill for 5 runs. He got dismissed on a catch from Heinrich Klaasen at mid-on putting Gujarat Titans on back foot. Jos Buttler who came to bat at no.3 couldn’t make impact as Praful Hinge bagged his for 7 runs. He got dismissed while attempting sweep shot as the ball edged and went to Ishan Kishan behind the wickets.

India U17 women lose 0-3 to Japan, asian cup quarter-final hopes hinge on Lebanon clash

India’s U17 women’s team suffered a 0-3 defeat to Japan in their second Group B match of the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 in Suzhou on Tuesday, leaving their quarter-final hopes dependent on the final group fixture. The Young Tigresses produced a disciplined first-half performance, maintaining a compact defensive shape despite Japan dominating possession. India restricted clear scoring opportunities and went into the break level at 0-0, a notable effort against a side that had scored 13 goals in their opening match. Second-half pressure proves decisive Japan found the breakthrough in the 59th minute through Yumi Hayashi, whose composed finish ended India’s resistance. The goal shifted momentum firmly in Japan’s favour, as they increased attacking intensity and began to exploit spaces in the Indian defence. Yuzuha Ikeda added two more goals in the closing stages, scoring in the 76th and 81st minutes to secure a comprehensive win. India, despite the setback, continued to show effort and structure but were unable to recover. With one group match remaining, India now face a must-win situation against …

How tales of Chhatrapati Shivaji and Bajirao Peshwa inspired 9-year-old Anvi Hinge to become youngest Women’s Candidates Master in chess history | Chess News

Deepak Hinge didn’t tell his nine-year-old daughter Anvi that he was hoping for the impossible. When they boarded the flight to Alicante, Spain last month, he believed that the Women’s Candidates Masters (WCM) title for Anvi was still a few flights away. Maybe a few months, or even a few years. The shared dream of making her the youngest WCM player ever felt just that: a dream. At the time, Anvi’s Elo rating was hovering around the early 1600s, nearly 200 points below the threshold required for the WCM title. Deepak’s judgment was based on realism. He was already proud of the progress his young daughter had made in her still-budding chess career and the trip to Spain’s southeastern port city felt just like another tournament for them. But over the next nine days, Anvi turned uncertainty into triumph. Punching above her weight and her age, she played some of her best chess, recording six wins and amassing 6.5 points from nine rounds. That performance earned her a staggering 175 rating points, enough to breach …

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi slayer Praful Hinge unfazed by instant stardom, insists explosive IPL debut is only a start

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi slayer Praful Hinge unfazed by instant stardom, insists explosive IPL debut is only a start

One night, a record four-for, and Praful Hinge became an overnight sensation in the IPL. In what was his debut game — and only the second T20 appearance of his career — the Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler ripped through the Rajasthan Royals top order on April 13, effectively ending their hopes of chasing 217 in Hyderabad. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Praful Hinge celebrates after his team’s win during the IPL 2026 match against Rajasthan Royals (PTI) Hinge struck three times in his first six deliveries, including the prized scalp of boy wonder Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. His fame skyrocketed on social media, with his followers reportedly increasing by 5000 per cent within minutes of that heroic spell. Yet, Hinge chose to remain grounded, insisting that he had merely taken a baby step in his career. The Vidarbha pacer, who was picked up by SRH at the auction last December, dismissed Sooryavanshi off the second ball of the innings. A delivery later, he bowled Dhruv Jurel, and ended the over by removing Lhuan-dre Pretorius — all three batters dismissed for …

IPL pace sensation Praful Hinge on dismissing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi off first ball on debut

4 min readApr 14, 2026 12:04 PM IST With his three wickets in his maiden over in the IPL in the match against Rajasthan Royals at Hyderabad on Monday evening, pacer Praful Hinge became the first bowler in the league’s history to take three wickets in the opening over. While he finished with a match haul of four wickets during Hyderabad’s 57-run win over the Royals, Hinge took his maiden IPL wicket in the form of IPL sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi off the second ball of his maiden over. The 15-year-old, who had become IPL’s youngest centurion last year, tried to hit Hinge for a six, but the extra pace and bounce meant that the U-19 World Cup winner mishit the ball and gave a catch to wicket-keeper Salil Arora, resulting in Hinge’s maiden wicket. Post the match, Hinge spoke about how he had planned for Sooryavanshi’s wicket and had told a few people that he would remove the attacking opener off the first ball.

‘I had written it down last year — first match, four or five wickets’: Praful Hinge after record IPL debut | Cricket News

3 min readApr 14, 2026 12:29 AM IST Praful Hinge had written it down before it happened. Sometime last year, a note to himself: whenever he plays his first IPL match, he will take four or five wickets. On Tuesday night at Uppal, he took four — three of them in his first over, the first time that has been done in IPL history. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius fell before the over was done. Rajasthan Royals were 1 for 3. “I did think about it,” Hinge said after the match. “I don’t know about others, but I do believe.” The Sooryavanshi wicket was premeditated. “I had already told a couple of people that I would get him out on the very first ball, either with a bouncer or in some way. I just wanted his wicket on the first ball. That was the plan.” A true match-winner’s mindset 🫡 🗣️ Praful Hinge on his spectacular #TATAIPL debut ✨ Scorecard ▶️ https://t.co/xGTDdKbXpY#KhelBindaas | #SRHvRR | @SunRisers pic.twitter.com/8Bon31A3WQ — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 13, 2026 …

Kavya Maran was off her seat before the ball was caught. When Praful Hinge’s delivery ballooned off Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat into the Hyderabad sky, the SRH owner was already on her feet, almost praying. The ball came down. Salil Arora moved under it. Took it. And the SRH dugout became a pile of people jumping on each other. Sooryavanshi looked at the heavens and walked off. Golden duck. First ball. The fifteen-year-old who had been crunching boundaries off Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood all tournament, dismissed first ball by a debutant nobody had heard of. Dhruv Jurel arrived. Second ball, gone. Lhuan-dre Pretorius arrived. Sixth ball, caught at deep backward square leg. Three wickets in one over, the first time it had been done in IPL history. Rajasthan Royals, 1/3 before the second over had started. On the other side of the country, in a middle-class home in Nagpur, a retired government servant and a woman who had spent years packing a tiffin before sunrise were watching it happen.
