Sunrisers Hyderabad Debutant Praful Hinge Scripts History, Recreates Viral Moment of Mohammed Siraj After IPL Win
Young pacer Praful Hinge made a dream start to his IPL career, delivering a sensational performance for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals in Indian Premier League 2026.
The fast bowler stunned everyone on debut by taking three wickets in the very first over of the Royals’ innings. Hinge finished with impressive figures of 4/34 in his four overs, playing a key role in Hyderabad’s victory.
His early burst removed some of Rajasthan’s important batters, including Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel and Lhuan-dre Pretorius in the opening over itself. Later in the match, he also dismissed Royals captain Riyan Parag, further strengthening his side’s control over the game.
After the match, a fun moment between teammates went viral on social media. Nitish Kumar Reddy shared a video with Hinge that recreated a famous clip of Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj.
In the original video, Siraj had clarified which of his social media accounts were genuine, asking fans not to follow fake profiles. Hinge and Reddy recreated the same dialogue humorously after the win, adding to the celebrations in the dressing room.
Despite the spotlight, Hinge says his focus remains firmly on contributing to the team whenever he gets an opportunity.
Speaking about his approach to the game, the young bowler said he often imagines match scenarios while watching cricket and thinks about how he would bowl in those situations. According to him, this habit helps him stay mentally prepared for real match situations.
Hinge also revealed his ambitions for the season. His primary goal is to help his team win the IPL trophy, but he also hopes to make memorable moments on the field — including taking a spectacular catch and competing for the Best Fielder award.
With such a remarkable debut, Praful Hinge has already announced himself as one of the exciting new talents to watch in IPL 2026.
