In a stunning debut performance, Praful Hinge, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), took 4 wickets for 34 runs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their IPL 2026 match at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Hinge made history by becoming the first bowler to achieve a three-wicket haul in the opening over of an IPL innings. His exceptional bowling helped SRH secure a 57-run victory, as they posted a total of 216 runs with significant contributions from Ishan Kishan, who scored 91 runs, and Heinrich Klaasen with 40 runs. After dismissing RR's Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on the very first ball, Hinge continued to rattle the top order, leaving the opposition struggling. Following the match, Hinge recreated a moment reminiscent of Mohammed Siraj, adding a fun element to his debut. SRH will next face Chennai Super Kings on April 18 at the same venue.
