Praful Hinge's historic IPL debut

Hinge dismissed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius for ducks in his first six balls, finishing with figures of 4/34.

The 24-year-old from Vidarbha, who was signed for Rs 30 lakh, has overcome a career-threatening back injury with guidance from legends like Glenn McGrath.

His opening spell dismantled the Royals' top order and justified the franchise's faith in the young seamer.

The performance has immediately established Hinge as one of the breakout stars of the 2026 IPL season.
