IPL 2026: Praful And Sakibs Combination Makes SRHs Bowling Attack Far More Complete, Says Pathan
The Praful Hinge: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan lauded the impact of Sunrisers Hyderabads young pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, crediting their combination of speed and variation for strengthening the teams bowling unit and opining that the two pacers combination makes SRHs bowling attack far more complete. SRHs bowling, which had come under scrutiny earlier in the season, found renewed sharpness as the two youngsters played a decisive role in a dominant performance against the in-form Rajasthan Royals on Monday to put an end to the inaugural champions winning streak in the tournament. Pathan pointed out how their contrasting skills brought much-needed balance to the attack. The biggest positive was that they offered both pace and variation, which is exactly what Sunrisers Hyderabad need. They started with high pace, bounce, and a bit of swing upfront, and as the ball got older, their variations came into play. Sakib, in particular, was outstanding. His wrist position allows him to generate sharp turn and deceptive, slower deliveries, even on a dry surface. Praful Hinge will be effective with the new ball and yorkers, while Sakib can control the middle overs with his variations. That combination makes their bowling attack far more complete, Pathan told JioStar. Elaborating on their overall impact, Pathan highlighted how the duo added a new dimension to an attack previously reliant on experienced bowlers. This was a big boost for Sunrisers Hyderabad because their bowling needed that extra firepower. While experienced bowlers like Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel were relying on variations, Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain brought in high pace and bounce, which made a real difference. Sakibs journey is remarkable. His mother sold her jewellery to buy his first cricket shoes, and to see him deliver a performance like this on such a big stage will be incredibly special for his family. Credit also goes to the team management and Ishan Kishan for backing these young players in a high-pressure game. That trust paid off, and it looks like an exciting phase ahead for SRH, he added. Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis also praised Hinges immediate impact, particularly in the powerplay, where early wickets set the tone for the contest.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Praful Hinge had no clue he was carrying a stress fracture. It was only in March 2023, after being selected for a stint at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, that physio Naveen Babu PK broke the news to him - a severe L4 fracture on the left side of his lumbar spine. Six to eight months of rehab followed, and for Hinge, a young fast bowler from Nagpur, it felt like staring at the end of the road. Fast forward to nearly three years later, and Hinge was steaming in at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, after being handed a debut by Sunrisers Hyderabad. What followed was the stuff of IPL folklore with his tall height, clocking above 140 kmph, hitting the deck hard, and extracting steep bounce which few could do, Hinge ripped through Rajasthan Royals by picking four wickets in his first two overs. Three of them - including having teen prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi top-edging to keeper on the very first ball - came in a dream opening over, leaving everyone in a trance. From fearing he might never get to bowl again to dismantling one of the tournaments most feared batting units, Hinges spell was a reminder of how quickly fortunes can flip. Fans expecting fireworks from RRs batters instead witnessed Hinge and fellow debutant Sakib Hussain wreck them with twin four-fers. In Chennai, Naveen Babu, the foundations physio since 2011, missed the first over entirely. By the time he switched on the TV, the damage was already done. I felt very bad that I didn't watch it. But when I saw that it was something which none of the bowlers did in the last 19 years, I was stunned. He was telling me even before the IPL began that, Sir, if I play in this IPL, I will make sure to get my name in the books. That is his mindset and shows the gritty nature he has. He never gives up, even when facing his worst phase or when he didnt get many chances after injury. I don't have words actually to describe this moment of happiness, recalled Naveen Babu in a free-wheeling conversation with IANS. At Hinges home, his father Prakash sensed he was on the cusp of something extraordinary. Hinge was supposed to debut against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh, but a change in plans meant Jaydev Unadkat was slotted in as the impact player. Fate, though, had reserved a bigger stage and a louder roar from SRHs fans bathed in orange for his arrival. These kinds of things happen in matches, as per the situation and management, so we werent too concerned. But yesterday, when he bowled the first ball, it was jabardast (stupendous). When he bowled the second ball to take out Dhruv Jurel, I sensed he will do something special. After that, he got another wicket (of Lhuan-dre Pretorious) and soon, he had three scalps in the first over and the mahaul (atmosphere) became a little different, said Prakash. Usman Ghani, head coach of Vidarbha, Hinge's state team, was understandably chuffed for the youngster, who found Riyan Parags edge with an away-going delivery to get his fourth scalp. He was working hard for an opportunity, and I am very happy that he made it count. He did well for us and that's why the scouts who were keeping tabs on him were very happy. He should now carry on with this momentum, as at the end, this is a batters game. But then him picking four wickets and that too of Sooryavanshi is a very great effort, he said. On the insistence of former India pacer Prashant Vaidya, now director of VCAs Cricket Academy, Hinge applied for the MRF Pace Foundation intake in 2023. What was meant to be a career-defining step turned into a gut punch - the diagnosis of a severe stress fracture left the youngster shattered. I told him only one thing - once you finish your rehab, I can assure you that you won't develop the same injury again in your career. We worked towards that goal and he was so dedicated like he said, 'I won't go back to my hometown till I finish my rehab and bowl the first ball.' That was his determination and he carried out his whole recovery process for almost six months and then progressively loaded him into bowling. Then, he improved very well and went to play in the domestic season and had good performances there. Before the 2024/25 season, Hinge had another injury osteitis in the groin and went through rehab again. Since then, hes unstoppable, recalled Naveen Babu. Hinges rehab involved adequate rest, aqua and strength work, tailored fitness schedule and a complete biomechanical breakdown, followed by a rebuild. Ramji Srinivasan, former India strength and conditioning coach and a key person at the foundation, explained the nitty-gritty of Hinges recovery. We didn't rush through things and were very meticulous in the process. Varun (Aaron, current SRH pace bowling coach and ex-India pacer) and I talked a lot in understanding his running mechanics, bowling mechanics, pre-delivery stride, back foot and front foot landing, and the involvement of torque. Lots of things were discussed and designed bespoke for him. He is a very diligent, very dedicated and very gritty boy. During that injury phase, there was a lot of self-doubt in him and whether he'll play at all. But he recovered, played and followed the schedule regularly, even till the last Ranji Trophy game this year. I remember Hinge told Varun that, 'Just one chance, sir. If I get that, I will take care of it', he said. The MRF Pace Foundation has been running since 1987 and builds raw fast bowlers from the ground up in both fitness and technique. Accommodation, flights, physiotherapy, yoga, coaching, DEXA body composition scans, and adequate nutrition - not a rupee is charged from the pacers. From socks to cap, as M Senthilnathan, the foundation's cricket affairs head, puts it. Senthilnathan was filled with joy on seeing Hinge, as well as previous trainees Sakib and Eshan Malinga shine in Hyderabad. The effect of being under the legendary Glenn McGrath, the foundations head coach, rubbed well on Hinge, felt Senthilnathan. McGraths own former trainer, Kevin Chevell, also worked on Hinges conditioning last year. Glenn's part is that he teaches mentally about how to handle pressure on the field because mostly people talk to him about all these things. But on the field, a bowler has to fight his own battle, as he is on his own there. So, how to control your mind, how to come out of that situation even if he is put under pressure, bouncing back after a good shot was played by the batter or how to make a come back under pressure - these are the kind of important things which definitely have played a big part for Hinge while being under Glenn McGrath, he said. In June 2024, as part of the MRF Pace Foundations annual exchange programme with Cricket Australias High Performance Centre in Brisbane, Hinge spent close to a month bowling in unfamiliar conditions, reading unfamiliar pitches, and rubbing shoulders with Australian quicks. When Hinge wrapped Aaron for a bear hug after SRHs 53-run win, the smiles carried more than just joy. Aaron, who represented India in nine Tests and nine ODIs, knows the pain of injuries all too well. He endured three stress fractures in his back along with hamstring, groin, knee and foot injuries. For Srinivasan, Aarons greatest gift as SRHs bowling coach isnt just technical know-how - its empathy forged in experience. It was Varun's idea to recruit Hinge and Sakib for SRH. Sakib is also very quick, but coming back to Hinge, he kept his discipline and now his progression has to be very carefully monitored. Huge credit to Varun as well hes open to involving a lot of technology and science in the system. Varun bringing science into the system rather than just going through the motions has been beneficial. Varun lives by example and is now a guiding light for Hinge. I can confidently say he knows his onions as simple as that, he said. In December, while the auction played out in Abu Dhabi, Hinge was glued to it on his mobile screen inside a temple. A devotee of Lord Hanuman, he was shortlisted once before, only for injuries to derail his path. This time, SRH snapped him up at his base price of Rs 30 lakh. On Monday, with the new ball in hand, Hinge marked his run-up and what followed is now history. If someone has a dream debut in the IPL like this, izze zyada aur kya chahiye (what else do you need?), said a beaming Prakash. Before the surreal Monday night in Hyderabad, and trips to Chennai and Brisbane, Hinge grew up like countless cricket-mad kids in India - bat in hand and eyes fixed on hitting boundaries. Bowling was nobodys dream; it demanded strength, patience, and sacrifice. At 13, on Prafuls insistence, Prakash enrolled him at the local Gymkhana club - partly to channel his sons restless energy during summer holidays. When Prakash, an accountant recently retired from Maharashtras Electricity Board, dropped by the academy once, he found his son doing what every other boy did - hitting fours and sixes. Thats when he told Praful something that changed the way he played. Everyone becomes a batter, but very few become a bowler. He used to go on our terrace and try to bowl. I told him that you can try now to become a bowler. That was the only word I had and after that, he chose this path and has now made his career in bowling, he said. The family rallied quietly behind Praful - Prakash, his wife Alka, and daughter - a school topper from nursery to tenth standard, and buried in CA coaching - took turns dropping Praful at the academy and picking him up. It was the kind of everyday sacrifice families make, rearranging themselves around a dream without fuss. My daughter was the topper in merit list in the Vidarbha zone in 2014. I just told her to put in the hard work for achieving the dream she had and there was no bothering from my side. I also said the same thing to Praful if you want to play and juggle it with studies, do it. Slowly, slowly, he made the cricket ground his home, he said. The progression through Vidarbha's age-group structures was methodical for Hinge. In the 2019/20 Cooch Behar Trophy, Hinge played 11 matches and picked 36 wickets at an average of 25. In the 2023/24 CK Nayudu Trophy, Hinge featured in seven games, taking 26 wickets at an average of 19. He made his first-class debut for Vidarbha in October 2024 and picked up 16 wickets in the Ranji Trophy at an average of 26.37. His only T20 was against Andhra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in December 2025, taking 1-23. Hinge also played a vital hand in Neco Master Blasters' winning the inaugural edition of the Vidarbha Pro T20 League in 2025. The progression through Vidarbha's age-group structures was methodical for Hinge. In the 2019/20 Cooch Behar Trophy, Hinge played 11 matches and picked 36 wickets at an average of 25.

Praful, Sakib Have Shown The Indian Bowling Future Is In Safe Hands: McClenaghan
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: After Sunrisers Hyderabad snapped Rajasthan Royals four-match winning run in IPL 2026 with a comprehensive 57-run victory, former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan heaped praise on the debut heroics of 'Fearless Prodigies' Sakib Hussain and Praful Hinge, saying they have shown that the future of Indian bowling is in safe hands. Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain announced themselves on the grand stage by picking eight wickets collectively as SRH ended IPL 2026 table topper RR's winning juggernaut with a thumping 53-run win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. This fearless prodigy Sakib Hussain looks very talented. At the start of the chase, he got the big wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal with the new ball. That wicket put the brakes on Rajasthans top order and their chances of chasing 217. Later, he showed his ability to bowl the slower ball, and his ability to nail them took everyone by surprise. His slower delivery gave Mustafizur Rahman vibes, and he feels like a right-handed version of Mustafizur. Praful had a dream debut as he picked three wickets in his very first over, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to take three wickets in the opening over of an innings. He registered the figures of 4-34 in his four overs over quota.

The first ball to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, he bowled a sharp bumper that caught him off guard and led to his dismissal.

IPL 2026: Debutant Hinge Picks Scintillating Four-fer As SRH End RR's Winning Run (Ld)
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Debutant pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain announced themselves on the grand stage by picking eight wickets collectively as Sunrisers Hyderabad ended IPL 2026 table topper Rajasthan Royals winning juggernaut with a thumping 53-run win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. On a pitch where the odd ball was stopping, captain Ishan Kishan hammered eight fours and six sixes in his blistering 44-ball 91 as SRH posted a towering 216/6. Anything full and wide was crashed through the off side via Kishans lightning hands, while short balls were dealt with authoritative pulls and whips for the SRH captain to bring up his 19th IPL fifty. But that effort was overshadowed by a scintillating spell from Hinge, who was named to debut against Punjab Kings last week, but was later pipped by Jaydev Unadkat as the impact player. In a script that felt like a fairytale coming true, Nagpur-based Hinge became the first bowler in IPL history to claim a three-wicket haul in the opening over. He broke the back of RRs mighty top order, including dismissing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for a duck, to end up with 4-34. Hussain, hailing from Gopalganj in Bihar, provided the clinical finish and remained unflappable to pick 4-24, as RR were bowled out for 159 in 19 overs. SRHs gamble of blooding two debutants coming in place of experienced campaigners Unadkat and Harshal Patel proved to be a masterstroke. The victory is SRH's second in five games and catapults them to fourth spot on the points table. On the very first ball of his spell, Hinge did what the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood hadnt managed to do this season: dismiss Sooryavanshi cheaply. Sooryavanshis eyes lit up on seeing the short ball and went for an expansive pull, but the top-edge was caught by keeper Salil Arora, leaving Hinge and SRH jubilant. It was the start of a sensational spell for Hinge on the very next ball, he had Dhruv Jurel chopping on to his stumps, before Lhuan-dre Pretorius flicked straight to long leg. From the other end, fellow debutant pacer Sakib Hossain got his first IPL scalp as Yashasvi Jaiswal upper-cut a short ball with extra bounce to deep backward point. The nightmare continued for RR, as Hinge removed skipper Riyan Parag with a lovely outswinger, which he edged to slip, as the inaugural champions lost five scalps even before the third over was completed. With the games result rendered a foregone conclusion, Ravindra Jadeja and Donovan Ferreira steadied RRs ship with an aim to avoid having a huge dent on the net run rate. With the pair taking RR past 49, it meant they avoided the ignominy of the lowest score in the IPL. The duo brought up the fifty of their stand off 35 balls, with Ferreira being lighting quick to pounce on anything loose from spinners Shivang Kumar and Harsh Dubey and sent them over the boundary ropes to bring up his maiden IPL half-century off just 31 deliveries. But the 118-run stand, the highest for a sixth wicket for RR, was broken when Sakib castled Ferreira with a slower ball, while Jadeja nicked behind off Eshan Malinga. More delight came for Sakib when he dismissed Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi with consecutive slower while Malinga had Tushar Deshpande holing out to extra-cover and close a thumping win for SRH. Long before the two debutants unleashed carnage, Archer silenced the sell-out Uppal crowd by dismissing Abhishek Sharma on the very first delivery, as he gave a thick edge to third man. It was Archers fourth first-ball wicket in the IPL, while Abhishek bagged his seventh duck in T20s this year. But Archers second over burst his bubble as Kishan whipped him for four, before pulling a bouncer for six and launching Sandeep Sharma down the ground. Nandre Burger nearly dismissed Travis Head twice in the fourth over - a nip-backer took an inside edge for four, while a mistimed loft just evaded Archer. But a rusty Head holed out to long-on off Riyan Parag just after SRHs fifty was raised in the power-play. Kishan marched forward to bring his fifty in 30 balls with a monstrous slog sweep off Ravi Bishnoi and brought up SRHs hundred by smoking Tushar Deshpande for six. Kishan then smashed three boundaries off Deshpande via a wristy flick and a brace of slices, as 21 runs came off the 11th over and the fifty of his partnership with Heinrich Klaasen arrived in just 26 deliveries. Kishan continued to tear into Archer, carving him through backward point, long-on, and deep mid-wicket for three fours. Following a floodlight failure break, Kishan fell nine runs short of his century, miscuing a pull off Sandeep to Jurel, who survived a collision with the pacer, while Klaasen chipped to extra cover off Archer for 40. Kishan then smashed three boundaries off Deshpande via a wristy flick and a brace of slices, as 21 runs came off the 11th over and the fifty of his partnership with Heinrich Klaasen arrived in just 26 deliveries.

For RR, who were at 9/5, a partnership of 118 between Donovan Ferreira (69) and Ravindra Jadeja (45) - the second-highest stand for the sixth wicket or lower in the IPL, saved the side from being shot out for a low total, as they eventually folded at 159 in 19 overs. SRHs gamble of blooding two debutants coming in place of experienced campaigners Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat proved to be a masterstroke. The victory is SRH's second in five games and catapults them to fourth spot on the points table, with their campaign firmly back on track. On the very first ball of his spell, Hinge did what the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood hadnt managed to do this season: dismiss Vaibhav Sooryavanshi cheaply.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Vidarbha pacer Praful Hinge announced himself on the big stage by picking three wickets in his very first over for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2026 clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday.

Jofra Archer silenced the sell-out Uppal crowd by dismissing Abhishek Sharma on the very first delivery. Travis Head struggled for rhythm, but Kishan operated on a different level. Anything full and wide was crashed through the off side with lightning hands, while short balls were dealt with authoritative pulls and whips to bring up his 19th IPL fifty. He hammered eight fours and six sixes in his 44-ball 91, and was the dominant partner in an 88-run stand for the third wicket with Heinrich Klaasen (40) that shifted momentum entirely.

IPL 2026: Pretorius, Deshpande Come In As RR Elect To Bowl First Against SRH
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Left-handed batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius and right-arm pacer Tushar Deshpande come in as Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. Inaugural champions RR arrive on the back of winning all four of their games, while SRH, the IPL 2016 winners, return to their home ground after losing to Punjab Kings by six wickets in New Chandigarh. Deshpande replaces Brijesh Sharma, while Pretorius comes in as Shimron Hetmyer is rested. A new wicket for us, first time its been used this season as well. So hopefully theres a little bit of stickiness at the start. Weve chased down a lot of totals here. We fell short in 2024, so hopefully not the case this time. Its been a journey. I was under (Sanju Samson) Bhaiya for the longest time, and then Sanga did really well in improving me with all the decisions and involved me in all the tactical and strategic meetings. Now I think Ive taken the onus up. Had to make a lot of tough calls, but happy to be here, said RR captain Riyan Parag. SRH skipper Ishan Kishan said fast bowlers Sakib Hussain and Praful Hinge replaced experienced pacers Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel. I think Ive been doing this for a long time. I was a leader in Under-19 India, Ive been doing it for my state team, and I think it makes you more aware of the situation, more focused on the game. You look to do more for your team because its never about individual performance, its always about teamwork. So we have done it, and I think were doing it in a very good manner. I think obviously it makes a difference when youre the captain of the team and youve been doing well. It shows a lot of maturity, that a player has a certain amount of growth in him now. So it did help me a bit in the last few years when Ive been a leader of my side and done well for the team. It made me come back to the Indian side. So what else can you ask for? he said.

IPL 2026: Tim David, Hardik Pandya Fined For Code Of Conduct Breach
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Tim David and Hardik Pandya have been punished for separate violations of the IPL Code of Conduct after Match 20 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. David, playing for RCB, was fined 25 percent of his match fee and received one demerit point for a Level 1 offence. This was for breaching Article 2.4, which deals with ignoring an umpires instruction during a match. The first incident occurred in the 18th over of RCBs innings when the umpires decided to change the ball. David insisted on inspecting it and refused to return it despite several requests. A similar situation happened again in the final over, where he again did not hand the ball back to the officials, showing repeated non-compliance. The batter admitted to the offence and accepted the penalty given by the match referee. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was fined Rs12 lakh for having a slow over-rate during the same match. Since it was MIs first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the appropriate penalty was applied. Brilliant bowling, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53), followed by some fine restrictive bowling, helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hand five-time champions Mumbai Indians an 18-run defeat in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians' ambitious chase of a record-high target at Wankhede fizzled out after former skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire hurt for 19 off 13 balls. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs.
