‘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 …

5 min readHyderabadApr 14, 2026 12:15 AM IST Skipper Ishan Kishan’s 91 and a combined spell of 8/58 from Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain helped SRH claim first home win of IPL 2026. Skipper Ishan Kishan took it into his own hands with an inspiring 44-ball 91 to counter the high-flying Rajasthan Royals and the bowling attack, which looked unrecognisable with new names like Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain humbling the power-packed Royals batting lineup. Dream debuts The crowd erupted the loudest this evening after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s wicket today at Uppal as the teenage sensation got out for a golden duck by an unknown SRH debutant, Praful Hinge. It was a dream spell for the 24-year-old Praful from Nagpur. The ball obeyed the wishes of the tall, fast bowler who got it to swing sharply both to the right-handers and the left-handers. Dhruv Jurel, who came into this game after making 81 not out in the last match, was left surprised with the movement Hinge generated when the ball pitched and swung sharply inwards. Jurel …

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.

2 min readUpdated: Apr 13, 2026 11:45 PM IST With Praful Hinge becoming the first bowler to take three wickets in the first over in Indian Premier League history on his debut, another Sunrisers Hyderabad debutant Sakib Hussain also refused to be overshadowed, taking 4 wickets as well as the two pacers rocked the Rajasthan Royals and helped their team win by 57 runs. While Hinge was creating havoc, Hussain was calmly going about his job at the other end, picking the big wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal and then following up with scalps of Donovan Ferreira, Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi to finish with 4/24. “Every player hopes for a debut like this, so it feels really good. I’m very happy. The bowling coach informed me a day before the game that I would be playing. From then on, my focus was simply on performing well. Mentally, I prepared myself to give my best,” Hussain said in the post-match presentation ceremony. Another debutant making his mark ✅ 🎥 Glimpses of Sakib Hussain’s 4/24 in his …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 13, 2026 08:49 PM IST Ever since he returned to the Indian setup in January this year, Ishan Kishan has quietly developed into one of the most impactful counterattacking openers in modern T20 cricket. Over the past three to four months, the southpaw has shown an ability to transfer the pressure back on the opposition as soon as he has walked to the middle at the fall of an early wicket in the powerplay. Thursday was another instance when Sunrisers Hyderabad lost Abhishek Sharma off the first ball against Rajasthan Royals. The standout feature is how Kishan times his aggression. He does not allow bowlers to breathe or for conditions to settle. Instead, he walks into high-pressure situations and turns the script around within a matter of deliveries.
