Hinge and Sakib Share Eight Wickets on Debut as SRH Dismantle Rajasthan
One is from Vidarbha. The other’s mother sold her jewellery to buy him cricket shoes. On Monday night in Hyderabad, they shared eight wickets on their IPL debuts and wrecked Rajasthan Royals’ chase of 217.
Praful Hinge struck three times in his opening over and finished with 4/34. Sakib Hussain, skiddy and relentless, took 4/24 — removing Yashasvi Jaiswal among his victims. SRH won by 57 runs. It wasn’t close.
Mitchell McClenaghan watched and delivered his verdict: “The future of Indian bowling is in safe hands.”
1,041 kilometres apart in origin. United by pace. And now, by one unforgettable debut.
