In an extraordinary debut performance during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on April 13, 2026, Praful Hinge, a 24-year-old fast bowler from Vidarbha, made history by taking three wickets in his first over for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Hinge's remarkable achievement left RR struggling at 1/3 after just one over, making him the first bowler to achieve this feat in IPL history. His victims included Vaibhav Sooryanshi, Dhruv Jurel, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius, all dismissed in a stunning display of fast bowling. SRH set a challenging target of 216 runs, bolstered by a blistering 91 runs off 44 balls from Ishan Kishan, who also contributed to the team's total with eight fours and six sixes. Following Hinge's explosive start, RR faced further challenges as they slumped to 58/5 after eight overs, with captain Riyan Parag also falling for a duck. The match showcased both Hinge's potential and Kishan's batting prowess, setting the stage for a thrilling IPL season.
