A bowler couldn't ask for a more dreamy debut than Praful Hinge had for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals in Match 21 of IPL 2026. The right-arm pacer from Vidarbha sent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi packing for a golden duck. And while the celebrations had only begun, the pace struck once again, this time getting Dhruv Jurel for a silver duck.
If that wasn't enough, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, also on debut, succumbed to debutante Hinge for yet another silver duck, as RR were left teetering in the first
over itself. The Nagpur-born player created history, becoming the first bowler to take three wickets in the first over of an innings in the Indian Premier League history.
