- Praful Hinge achieved an IPL first with three wickets in his opening over.
- The 24-year-old pacer dismissed three batters for golden ducks.

Praful Hinge etched his name in the Indian Premier League history books during his debut match against the Rajasthan Royals. The Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer achieved an unprecedented feat, taking three wickets in the very first over of the innings. This remarkable performance by the 24-year-old from Vidarbha marked a first in the IPL's 19-year existence.
Hinge's exceptional debut saw him dismiss Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius, all for golden ducks. Before his IPL breakthrough, Hinge had limited T20 experience but had shown promise in first-class and List A cricket. His journey includes training at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai since 2022 and a recent 15-day camp in Brisbane in 2024.
With a background of humble beginnings, Hinge's father works for the state electricity board. He has also worked closely with former India pacer Varun Aaron, who is now the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling coach for the 2026 season. Hinge has been focusing on his action and injury prevention, particularly with his back, under Aaron's guidance.
