Sunrisers Hyderabad’s new star Praful Hinge (4/34) shook Rajasthan’s batting with a surprising first over in the debut match and led the team to a big win by 57 runs. The foundation of Hyderabad’s victory was laid by the explosive innings of captain Ishan Kishan (91) and then Praful took it to the end.
