IPL 2026: Aaron delighted with the performance of Praful and Sakib on debut

Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain’s respective four-fors on debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals on Monday (April 13, 2026) arrived as a panacea for its bowling deficiencies. From the feisty opening over where 24-year-old Praful scooped up three wickets to a resurgence towards the death where SRH snuffed Royals’ fightback, this bite with the ball is what the management was praying for and working towards.

“Given where they’ve come from, what both have done today is massive. My only plea to both of them was for them to enjoy the game. To see them come out and bowl this way was a dream come true for the team, 100%,” bowling coach Varun Aaron told reporters.
