When a team buys a team for the first time in IPL, the fortunes of many unknown players change. If you get a chance to play for the first time then the story becomes even better. What can we say if some decent contribution is made in the very first match. But if someone does the most historic feat of 19 years of IPL in the very first match, then it becomes memorable forever. The story of only 24 year old fast bowler Praful Hinge is the last one. As soon as he got the chance to debut in IPL, Praful performed amazingly and took 3 wickets in the very first over and all three batsmen could not even open the account.
In the match played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals on 13 April, all eyes were on Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. But hardly anyone would have thought that both the batsmen would fail miserably and by the end of the match, the discussion would be more about the failure of these two than the player for whom this was his first match. Praful Hinge, who played for Vidarbha, made it a reality. In his very first over, Praful sent back the most explosive batsman of IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, to the pavilion without opening his account on the very first ball.

Yashasvi Jaiswal took a run on the first ball of Praful, who was bowling the first over of the innings for Hyderabad. Then Vaibhav, who came to the crease, played a high shot on the second and first ball of the over, but this time he could not cross the boundary and was caught out by the wicketkeeper. This was shocking for everyone because in the last 4 matches, Vaibhav had hit boundaries on the first ball of legendary bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Vaibhav failed this time but Praful's charm was still there. Then Dhruv Jurel came to the crease, who himself was in excellent form. But he also became the victim of Praful in the same over after playing 2 balls. He also got out on a score of 0. The show was still pending. Now 19 year old Luan-Dre-Pretorius came to the crease, who himself was having his debut match. But his condition was the same and he too got out without opening his account after playing 2 balls.
