RR vs SRH IPL Match: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Falls For Golden Duck As SRH Take Five Wickets In A Stunning Collapse

The Indian Premier League witnessed a sensational moment as debutant Praful Hinge delivered a stunning performance on his very first appearance.

Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the young bowler turned the match on its head with a remarkable spell against Rajasthan Royals (RR).

A Dream Start: Triple Wicket Over on Debut

Praful Hinge announced his arrival in style by picking up a triple-wicket over in his very first over.

He dismissed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for a golden duck with a hard-length delivery that resulted in a top edge to the wicketkeeper. Soon after, he removed Dhruv Jurel, who chopped the ball onto his stumps.

To complete a dream over, Hinge got Lhuan-dre Pretorius caught at long leg. The young bowler achieved something even experienced pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood have not managed this season-dismissing Sooryavanshi.

Fourth Wicket Adds to the Magic

Hinge didn't stop there. He returned to pick up a fourth wicket, dismissing Riyan Parag, who edged the ball straight to slip while trying to attack.

This turned an already dominant spell into a truly unforgettable debut, putting Rajasthan Royals under immense pressure early in their chase.

Rajasthan Royals Collapse Under Pressure

Chasing a challenging total of 216 runs, Rajasthan Royals had a disastrous start.
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal also fell cheaply, caught in the deep off Sakib Hussain, further deepening the crisis.

With wickets falling quickly, RR struggled to build any meaningful partnership, leaving them in a difficult position early in the innings.

Who Is Praful Hinge?

Praful Hinge hails from Nagpur and represents Vidarbha in domestic cricket. Before this IPL match, he had played only one T20 game, making his performance even more remarkable.

He was also part of Vidarbha's successful campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy earlier this year, though he played a limited role in that tournament.

His sudden rise and impactful debut have made him one of the most talked-about players of the tournament.

A Star Is Born

Praful Hinge's debut performance is likely to be remembered as one of the most exciting moments of IPL 2026.

From a relatively unknown player to a match-defining performer, his journey highlights the unpredictable and thrilling nature of the league.

If this match is any indication, Indian cricket may have just discovered another promising fast bowler.
