The restless, untested duo of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain shared eight wickets on their debut to bowl Sunrisers Hyderabad to a 57-run win over Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Monday.
When handed the daunting task of taming the JaiSurya phenomenon, Praful came through spectacularly. No bowler in the history of IPL had scalped three in the opening over, let alone a debutant, until the 24-year-old from Vidarbha came knocking.
