IPL 2026:'He Makes The Best Bowlers Look Ordinary', Says Kaif On Sooryavanshi's Ton Vs SRH

Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif hailed young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a once-in-a-generation talent after his breathtaking century powered Rajasthan Royals to 228/6 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Sooryavanshis explosive 103 off just 37 balls, studded with 12 sixes and five fours, lit up Jaipur and set the foundation for a high-scoring contest, even though SRH eventually chased down the target. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a once-in-a-generation talent. At just 15, he is making the best bowlers in the IPL look ordinary, Kaif told Jio Hotstar. He highlighted the youngsters fearless approach, especially his aggressive start against Praful Hinge. He smashed four sixes in a row off Praful Hinge. Hinge had dismissed him last time in Hyderabad, but here in Jaipur, Suryavanshi was on a mission to settle the score, and he did so in dominating fashion. Kaif also pointed out how the teenager showed no hesitation against top-quality bowling, including Pat Cummins. He even hit the first ball he faced from Pat Cummins for a massive six. He is a fearless prodigy whos dominating the IPL like he is playing gully cricket, he said. Two hundreds in two seasons, both at a strike-rate above 250. That tells you everything about his mindset. He doesnt care about the name of the bowler or the match situation. He just keeps attacking, he added. In the match, Rajasthan Royals posted a commanding total, but SRH pulled off a successful chase, riding on 74 from Ishan Kishan and 57 from Abhishek Sharma, who stitched a crucial 132-run partnership to seal a five-wicket win with nine balls to spare. Kaif further underlined the technical strengths that make Sooryavanshi special. He bats like a veteran who has played international cricket for ten years. His ability to pick the length early, his balance at the crease, and his raw power are all world-class.

IPL 2026: 'I Was Telling Him About The Madness With Which He Is Batting', Says Kishan On Sooryavanshi

New Delhi: Ishan Kishan marvelled at the fearless batting of teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, admitting that even opposition players are left wondering what the scorecard could have looked like had the youngster batted longer. Suryavanshi on Saturday hammered a stunning 37-ball 103 for against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls. Reflecting on his conversation with the 15-year-old, Kishan said, I was just telling him about the madness with which he is batting and how he is hitting. Sometimes, you are even scared thinking about what the scorecard could have looked if he had stayed for a few more overs. So, it was important for us to get his wicket. It was 228, it could have easily been 258. Cricket is all about comebacks. We got him out and made a little comeback there. Thats what I told him, When I am playing against you, please go a little easy on my team. I know all your secrets and inside stories, Kishan told JioStar. Vice-captain Kishan played a brilliant knock of 74 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 runs target in 18.3 overs and registered a dominant five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Speaking about his role at No. 3, Kishan emphasised the importance of anchoring the innings and making life easier for others in the batting order. After having played for so many years as a No. 3 batter, if you are set, you look to score big and bat till the end. It makes the job easier for the other batters with you, as they dont feel the pressure. That is my only thinking, to keep things as simple as I can, be in a good headspace, and just take it one match at a time. If we play good cricket, the rest of the team will learn from it. In the end, its a team sport. When you play good cricket, it rubs off on the others. I have also made a lot of mistakes, so my only aim is not to repeat them, which unfortunately, I did in the end in this game. Speaking about his role at No. 3, Kishan emphasised the importance of anchoring the innings and making life easier for others in the batting order. Also Read: Live Cricket Score When I wasnt playing and was out of the team, I told myself I cant cry or sulk about it. Its the easiest thing to do for any sportsman. It might earn you the sympathy of a few people, you might even feel good about it, but it wont get you anywhere. The only thing that could have gotten me back into the reckoning was runs. So, I just wanted to improve my game and score as many runs as I could, even if that meant hitting more sixes than any other batter. Only consistent run-scoring can bring you back into the team. If 300 runs in a season are not enough, score 400; if not that, score 500. At the end of the day, cricket is our daily bread. When youre out of the team, you understand its importance and start respecting every game. You become hungrier, and that was my focus: to become the best. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'He's My New Favourite Player', Says Cummins On Sooryavanshi

Adelaide Ashes Test: Sunrisers Hyderabad captqin Pat Cummins labelled teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi as his ew favourite player. He praised the 15-year-olds fearless style of play, even though Cummins led Sunrisers Hyderabad to victory in his return from injury during IPL 2026. I think hes my new favourite player, Cummins said after the match. He hits the ball so hard, its great to watch, its good fun. Youve got to be right on the money as a bowler because if youre not, its going a long way. Hes impressive, hes had a great start to his career and I like the way he plays, he takes the game on. Cummins, coming back from a back injury that disrupted his Ashes summer, faced a tough start when Suryavanshi hit his very first delivery for a six over mid-wicket. Giving up 11 runs in his opening over, it briefly seemed like another difficult night for bowlers in a tournament filled with high scores. However, the Australian fast bowler responded impressively. He finished with figures of 1-27, improving his lines by conceding just seven runs in his final two overs. He also delivered a perfect yorker to dismiss Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag, a moment that likely reassured Australias selectors after his long layoff Even as an opponent, Suryavanshi made a strong impression. The teenager scored a remarkable century off just 36 balls, having reached his fifty in only 15 deliveries. For Cummins, this match was a satisfying return after nearly 10 months of dealing with back issues. This period was only briefly interrupted by a six-wicket haul during the Adelaide Ashes Test. Im really happy. I was never quite sure how it would play out in the first game, he admitted. I pick it up better than I did 10 years ago. The IPLs fun. You always have to change the fields and use the bowlers. The batters constantly make you think. So, I enjoyed it; it felt pretty natural. His comeback also took place during an IPL season that has been tough for bowlers, with high-scoring games becoming common. Cummins took this challenge in stride, even joking about it. I guess you just work on your batting, he said with a laugh. Its a good challenge. You might have a bad couple of overs, but if you come back and bowl a really good death over, that can win the match. I actually think it somewhat takes the pressure off us bowlers, knowing our batting lineup can chase down whatever. The wickets might be flat, but its only 20 overs; its not a Test match that lasts five days. So, Im okay with that, a maximum of four overs. It is what it is. We build our team to focus on strong batting, and as bowlers, its our job to keep the runs down. The scores look a bit different than a few years ago, but the idea remains the same. I guess you just work on your batting, he said with a laugh. Its a good challenge. You might have a bad couple of overs, but if you come back and bowl a really good death over, that can win the match. I actually think it somewhat takes the pressure off us bowlers, knowing our batting lineup can chase down whatever.

IPL 2026: 'Dropped Catches Cost Us The Game,' Says Parag After RR Lost To SRH

Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Riyan Parag admitted that dropped chances proved costly as his side went down to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by five wickets in Match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Reflecting on the defeat, Parag said that while the team executed well in patches, lapses in the field hurt them badly. Skill-wise, we executed pretty nicely. But we dropped catches. Quality players like Abhishek can't be dropped. That will be a sight to behold. It is one part of the game. We have to be clinical, and fielding plays a major part, he said after the match. After being asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals posted a strong 228/6, riding on a sensational 103 off 37 balls by young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and a quickfire 51 from Dhruv Jurel. Late contributions from Donovan Ferreira and Shimron Hetmyer pushed the total past the 220-mark, putting RR in a commanding position at the innings break. However, SRH chased down the target comfortably with nine balls to spare, thanks to a blistering 74 off 31 balls from Ishan Kishan and a rapid 57 from Abhishek Sharma, who shared a match-defining 132-run partnership. Parag also felt that RR fell slightly short with the bat despite the big total. We left like 10-15 on the table, to be honest. They bowled well in the 18th and 19th over, executed the yorkers. We would have liked 10-15 more runs, he admitted. Speaking about his bowling decisions, Parag explained the reasoning behind turning to part-time options in the middle overs. They were two lefties, and I thought Don and I had a better chance of getting a wicket. The wicket was not spin-friendly. It didnt really go to plan, but I would do the same thing next time as well, he said. Parag also felt that RR fell slightly short with the bat despite the big total.

Earlier, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed a brilliant century, followed by a half-century by Dhruv Jurel as the Rajasthan Royals posted 228/6 in 20 overs.

He failed to make use of an early chance after being dropped by Dhruv Jurel off the first ball of Jofra Archers over, and scored just six off five balls. However, the pressure didnt last long as Nandre Burgers next over released it, conceding 10 runs with a wide and a boundary.

Abhishek Sharma joined the charge, hitting three fours off Burger in the following over. Abhishek also got a lifeline in the fifth over when Ravindra Jadeja dropped a simple catch. Kishan made full use of the momentum, smashing 19 runs in the final over of the powerplay as SRH raced to 89 runs in six overs.

Nitish scored 36 off 18 before getting out, while Klaasen made 29 off 24. Salil Arora sealed the chase with a six as SRH reached the target with nine balls to spare.

He smashed four sixes in the opening over off Praful Hinge, collecting 25 runs and setting the tone. The momentum continued as Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a six each off Pat Cummins in the next over.

Jurel accelerated in the middle overs, including a 101-metre six, and reached his fifty before falling to Nitish Kumar Reddy for 51 off 25 balls. Sooryavanshi continued his aggressive approach and raced to a stunning century in just 36 balls, eventually scoring 103 off 37 deliveries before being dismissed.

Indian Premier League: 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed a brilliant century as Rajasthan Royals posted 228/6 in 20 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 36th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start, thanks to young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He came out all guns blazing and took on Praful Hinge in the very first over, smashing four sixes and collecting 25 runs. The aggressive intent continued in the next over as Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a six each off Pat Cummins, who was playing his first match of the season. Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to pull things back briefly in the third over when Eshan Malinga dismissed Jaiswal with a clever slower delivery. Jaiswal made 10 runs off eight balls, including one six. Despite the wicket, RR maintained a strong scoring rate. Sooryavanshi continued to dominate and brought up his half-century in just 15 balls, hitting a six off Sakib Hussain in the final over of the powerplay. Rajasthan Royals ended the first six overs at a commanding 73/1. Sooryavanshi kept attacking and found good support from Dhruv Jurel, who rotated the strike well and kept the scoreboard ticking. In the 11th over, Jurel shifted gears by smashing a massive 101-metre six off Malinga, followed by a boundary on the next ball. He went on to score a quick fifty off 34 balls but was dismissed on the very next delivery by Nitish Kumar Reddy while attempting a pull shot. Jurel scored 51 off 25 balls, hitting eight fours and one six. Even after losing his partner, Sooryavanshi did not slow down. He continued his fearless batting and reached his second IPL century in just 36 balls, hitting back-to-back sixes off Sakib Hussain in the 14th over. However, his innings came to an end on the very next ball when he was trapped LBW while trying to play a reverse scoop. His stunning knock of 103 came off just 37 balls and included five fours and 12 sixes. Rajasthan Royals faced another setback in the 17th over when captain Riyan Parag was bowled by Pat Cummins for just 7 runs off 9 balls, continuing his poor run this season. In the final overs, Donovan Ferreira provided the late push with a quickfire 33 off 16 balls, hitting three fours and three sixes.

IPL 2026: 'We Are Focusing On Execution,' Says Varun Aaron On SRH Bowling Plan

Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowling coach Varun Aaron has stressed the importance of execution and collective team effort as his side clashes with the Rajasthan Royals(RR) in their eighth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Reflecting on the teams journey so far, Aaron highlighted how SRH have managed to recover well after early setbacks in the tournament, thanks to different players stepping up at different times. The way we bounced back from the first two defeats has been really pleasing. In some matches, the batters delivered, and in others, the bowlers stepped up when the batting didnt work. Thats the kind of team game we need all the way to the final, he said to broadcasters before the match. Aaron pointed out that such a balance across departments is essential in a format like T20, where momentum can shift quickly, and no single unit can guarantee success every game. Speaking about the approach going forward, the former Indian pacer made it clear that the teams focus remains on sticking to basics, especially for bowlers who often have limited margin for error in high-scoring games. The message is very simple: we are focusing on execution. In T20 cricket, conditions can favour either batters or bowlers. But as a bowler, the only thing you can rely on is yourself and your execution, Aaron explained. He added that adapting quickly to match situations and trusting ones skills is crucial, particularly in pressure moments when games can turn in just a few overs. Aaron also spoke about the evolving nature of T20 batting and the importance of fearless intent at the top of the order. Comparing aggressive openers like Sooryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma, he said both share a similar mindset that is becoming increasingly vital in modern cricket. He added that adapting quickly to match situations and trusting ones skills is crucial, particularly in pressure moments when games can turn in just a few overs.

IPL 2026: Pat Cummins Back As SRH Opt To Bowl Against RR

Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 36th of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Captain Pat Cummins is back for SRH and leading the side for the first time in the season. Cummins has replaced Dilshan Madushanka, while Praful Hinge is back in place of Harsh Dubey in the SRH playing XI. SRH is coming to the contest after a dominant win over the Delhi Capitals. They have won four out of seven matches and are placed at number four in the points table with eight points and a positive net run rate of +0.820. The Rajasthan Royals are also entering the match with a big victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last match. They have won five out of seven matches and are placed at number 2 in the points table with 10 points and a positive net run rate of 0.790. After winning the toss, SRH skipper Cummins spoke about returning after injury and team performance so far. We're going to have a bowl first. The wicket looks good, but we have to see what we need to chase down. Still really fresh. It's been a little while, but I've had really good preparation, a couple of bowls over here. I haven't played a game for a while, so we'll see how we go. But the body feels awesome, he said after winning the toss. On Ishan Kishan's captaincy, he said, He's fantastic. Yeah, four wins from the first seven games. I think he played the style that we really try and lead into here at SRH, that aggressive, fearless style approach. We know the pitch really well in Hyderabad. I think the challenge when you go play away is trying to sense what a good score is, what short work or ball work. So I think it's the first game for this venue for the season, so it'll be a challenge for both teams. Yeah, I've come in for Madushanka, and Hinge has come in, Harsh Dubey, he added. While after losing the toss, RR captain Riyan Parag said, We were looking to do that as well. But the last couple of seasons, we have not done well chasing, no problems batting first. We know the wicket really well. We had our camp here. There might be dew, but it won't be too much. Last year we fell short by a couple of overs, just want to put a collective 40 overs. The middle order has to step up and the others.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch LSG Vs KKR, Know All Details

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants are set to face Kolkata Knight Riders in their eighth match of the Indian Premier League 2026 season on Sunday evening at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. LSG head into the fixture after a setback against Rajasthan Royals, a result that has put them under pressure in the standings. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs from the bowling unit, which delivered disciplined performances. Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan stood out with economical spells. Led by Rishabh Pant, the Super Giants have had an inconsistent first half of the campaign and now face a crucial phase. With seven league matches remaining, the team will be aiming to string together victories to keep their playoff hopes alive. Their previous encounter with Kolkata produced a nail-biting finish, with Lucknow edging out a three-wicket win off the final delivery. On that occasion, Mukul Choudhary played a match-winning knock of 54 not out from just 27 balls, smashing seven sixes to guide his side home in dramatic fashion. For Kolkata, concerns remain around their bowling resources. Injuries to key pacers Harshit Rana and Akash Deep have weakened the attack, while experienced campaigners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have yet to consistently hit top form. However, Chakravarthy showed signs of resurgence recently with a three-wicket haul against Rajasthan, offering some optimism for the defending champions.

Indian Peacock Brings Handloom into Everyday Fashion to Support Artisan Livelihoods

Indian handloom weavers, masters of generational craft, were being written out of their own story. Their textiles ended up in museums or marked " ethnic wear ," while their livelihoods grew uncertain and their knowledge faced quiet extinction   The hands behind every Indian Peacock piece     Not because the craft wasn't valuable. Because the path from loom to life had too many barriers. Indian Peacock attempts to bridge these gaps through direct collaboration. Founded by architect Preethi Pathireddy, The Indian Peacock is where her decade-long journey in architecture meets her deep-rooted love for texture, form, and cultural heritage. An Ivy League alumna, Preethi has always been intuitive in her design approach, drawing connections between structure and softness, craft and utility. What began as a personal exploration of India's textile legacy soon grew into a brand committed to slow fashion and conscious living. We collaborate with handloom artisans across India. Jamdani weavers of West Bengal, Ikat weavers of Telangana, handblock print artisans of Rajasthan, and Mangalgiri weavers of Andhra Pradesh. They are not vendors, but partners. We know their craft, their processes, and their stories. We support them with fair wages, and consistent work, not just seasonal demand. This isn't about " modernizing " traditional craft. We do something simple: we make their work wearable for everyday life. We design structured shirts, versatile kurtas, and thoughtfully made coord sets for everyday wear. We don’t approach craft as fusion or occasionwear. Our intent is to bring handwoven textiles into the rhythm of life, to be worn often, lived in, and relied on. Because craft survives not through occasional admiration, but through relevance and consistent use. A handwoven garment becomes something you reach for week after week. Instead of a mass-produced alternative, it creates quiet continuity. It keeps looms active, skills relevant, and livelihoods steady. Handloom survives not through admiration or occasional wear, but through everyday choices that keep the craft alive, relevant, and in motion. This is how we reclaim the narrative: by putting artisan craft back to where it's always belonged. Indian Peacock isn't rescuing artisans, they need markets, respect, and fair economics. We're providing that. We're not preserving tradition in amber. We're proving it's alive and necessary. Every garment carries the maker's presence. Every collection starts with the textile, not the trend. Every decision asks: does this serve the craft and the craftsperson? Because when Indian textiles move from heritage looms to modern streets, wearing the artisan's dignity along with their weave, the story becomes theirs again. This work extends beyond the loom. In our Hyderabad studio, every garment moves through the hands of a team that cuts, stitches, and finishes each piece with the same attention to detail the textile began with. Craft does not exist in isolation, and neither do we. Fair wages, consistent work, and a supportive environment are principles we apply across everyone involved in the process, not just in idea, but in practice. And we're just here to make sure it gets told, thoughtfully, consistently, and with the care of a team that believes in it.

IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsan Becomes Fastest Batter To Reach 2000 Runs

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Sai Sudharsan made Indian Premier League (IPL) history by becoming the fastest batter to reach 2,000 runs, achieving this milestone in just 47 innings during the Gujarat Titans game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Bengaluru on Friday. The left-hander surpassed Chris Gayle, who previously held the record by reaching the mark in 48 innings. Sudharsan now has over 2,000 runs from 47 matches with an impressive average and strike rate, showing his consistency at the top of the order with several fifties and centuries. Interestingly, this milestone comes in what has been a modest IPL 2026 season for Sudharsan. He scored only 135 runs in his first six innings, including just one fifty against the Rajasthan Royals, and had trouble converting good starts in other games. He became only the second player, after Shubman Gill, to hit this milestone for the franchise. At the end of nine overs, he was batting 85 off 49 balls and led the innings with nine fours and four sixes. The left-hander also became one of the fastest players to reach this mark in terms of balls faced, totalling 1,361. He joined an elite group that includes Abhishek Sharma, Virender Sehwag, and Rishabh Pant, highlighting his consistency and impact.

IPL 2026: 'I Visualise These Situations,' Says Jadeja On His Fighting Knock Vs LSG

Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja credited his mental preparation and ability to visualise pressure scenarios for his match-winning performance in RRs 40-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday. I had a magic wand in my pocket. As soon as I put my hand in it, I felt something. Why did you move ahead in such a team? I have played in such a situation for so many years. My batting has never been in such a situation in my entire career. I have played in such a situation very rarely. I have got used to this thing, Jadeja said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on Friday. In a low-scoring encounter, Jadejas unbeaten 43 off 29 balls lifted Rajasthan Royals to 159/6, with a crucial late flourish alongside Shubham Dubey. His late assault, including a 20-run final over, proved decisive on a tricky surface. Reflecting on his mindset, Jadeja emphasised the importance of mental rehearsal. This thing keeps running in my mind. This situation can also come in a T20 game. If the wicket fell 3-4, then I would have to go and handle the batting. I visualise this and see myself in the same situation. I get a lot of help in this. I keep thinking about that situation. I get a lot of benefit from it, he said. Defending 159, which is the lowest total successfully defended this season, RR's bowlers produced a clinical effort to bundle out LSG for just 119 in 18 overs. Jofra Archer starred with 3-20, while Nandre Burger and Brijesh Sharma picked up two wickets each as LSG slumped to their fourth straight loss despite Mitchell Marshs fighting 55. Jadeja noted that the pitch conditions played a significant role in shaping his approach with both bat and ball. Wicket was not that easy. Personally, I felt that it was not a typical T20 wicket. There were some fast bowlers on the wicket. There was a seam. There was a swing, too. It was not that easy to hit a shot in the T20 format in today's wicket. Jadeja, who also took one crucial wicket, explained his bowling strategy, where he mixed his pace effectively to trouble the LSG batters. When I came to bowl, I felt that I could use the pace of the ball. My plan succeeded. When I was batting, I felt that the ball was not coming well on the bat. It was getting stuck. There was a little grip, he said. Jadeja, who also took one crucial wicket, explained his bowling strategy, where he mixed his pace effectively to trouble the LSG batters.

'Been A Long Time Coming': Cummins Confirms His Availability For RR Clash

ICC T20 World Cup: 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have received a big boost ahead of their clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium as their designated captain Pat Cummins has confirmed that he will play his first match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. Cummins arrived in India ahead of the season, but didn't take part in the match. The 32-year-old flew back to Australia right after SRH's thrilling win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 2 for the scan on his back. Australian Test captain cleared the fitness test on Friday and has now confirmed that he will take the field against the Rajasthan Royals. Been a long time coming, stinging to get back into it tomorrow, Cummins shared in a social media post via his official Instagram handle, hinting at his return to the dressing room. The Australian pacer has not played a single match since the Ashes series at home against England. He also missed the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2026, where Australia exited for the first time from the group stage. In his absence, SRH experimented with their pace attack and found success in debutant fast bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, both of whom claimed four-wicket hauls against RR at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium earlier this week.

IPL 2026: 'Wanted To Be As Calm As Possible', Says Hinge On Mindset Behind Stunning Four-for On Debut

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: When Praful Hinge ran in to bowl his first over in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against an in-form Rajasthan Royals batting line-up, there was no doubt in him being overwhelmed by the occasion. The young fast bowler from Nagpur was just focused on executing what he had already rehearsed in the nets nailing his line and length with precision. By blocking out the crowd, trusting the process, and staying calm, Hinge got a stunning four-fer, including three scalps in the opening over, to give SRH a memorable win over RR and etch his name into the history books. Now nearly ten days since that magical night at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hinge recalled that, being at the top of his bowling mark, he just wanted to be calm in executing his plans to perfection. It was nothing like that. I had thought about getting the crowd out of my head and mind first, and I wanted to be as calm as possible. I had bowled under pressure when I was bowling in the practice sessions. So, I had to execute all those things in the match, and I felt really good when I did that, Hinge told IANS on JioStar Press Room. As he took out Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, and Riyan Parag, Hinge said he didnt realise that he was making history. I was just focused on bowling the ball. Its not in my hands to take a wicket or not. I just had to bowl well. So, that was it. I was just focusing on bowling well and helping my team win. Cricket is like, if you bowl well, you'll get the wicket. Behind that calm composure and a little shy demeanour lies a journey rooted in stubborn ambition and a childhood dream stitched while growing up in Nagpur. I started playing cricket at the age of 13. But I didn't know what leather ball cricket was. So, I used to play tennis ball cricket, and I used to play a match with it. Gradually, I told my dad that I wanted to start a club. So, he took me there. I said I would play at the age of 12, but he said that I was too young and he would take me there next year. So, when I turned 13, he took me to the club. I wanted to do a summer camp, as I wanted to see what happens after playing leather ball cricket. So, while I was playing, my dad said that the two-month camp was over. I said that I wanted to continue. So, my dad thought that I would go and go and if I continued, I would get tired, come home, and go to sleep. But I was stubborn - I knew that I wanted to play for India. I didn't know what domestic cricket was or what club matches were. I just knew that I wanted to play for India and that blue jersey. Obviously, everyone wants that. So, I slowly got to know about the process and worked hard according to it. Then in 2016, I played for the under-16s, under-19s, and for the VCA., I represented them in various age groups. Then, last year, I got my debut match against Pondicherry and took four wickets. Then, this year, I got my debut in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy - something like four overs, 23 runs, one wicket, I took. So, I'm happy, I'm doing well, it's all about hard work, and I'm doing that, he elaborated. A key chapter in shaping this fearless prodigy has been his time at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, where an exposure trip to Australia and being under bowling coach Glenn McGrath sharpened both his skills and his sense of where he stood among the country's best pacers. I got a lot of confidence there, and especially I got to know how much I can develop myself and my fitness when foreign fast bowlers came. I mean, fast bowlers from every state came there, and I got to know where I stand and where I have to be. So, then I started working on myself. After that, I went to Australia as well. It was a very good experience there. Every year, two boys are taken to Australia. So, when I bowled on their wickets and came to India, it was very good, and I enjoyed it. While recovering from a stress fracture in the back, Hinge found a guide in Varun Aaron, the current SRH pace bowling coach and ex-India pacer, who himself had multiple stress fractures. Aarons own experience as a fast bowler gives him a unique understanding of what Hinge needs - without overcomplicating things. He's been very good. Like, he was a fast bowler, and he understands fast bowlers. So, the mutual understanding between a fast bowler can only be understood by a fast bowler. He works on what I feel is right. He doesn't tell me anything extraordinary - like, you do this, you do that. He just tells me what my body needs and something that can help me in bowling. While recovering from a stress fracture in the back, Hinge found a guide in Varun Aaron, the current SRH pace bowling coach and ex-India pacer, who himself had multiple stress fractures.
