Two first-time IPL players combined to hand Sunrisers Hyderabad a commanding 57-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in Hyderabad on Monday. Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain shared eight wickets on debut, with 24-year-old Hinge — from the Vidarbha region of central India — making history by becoming the first bowler in IPL history to take three wickets in the opening over of a match. The result underlines Sunrisers Hyderabad's willingness to blood young talent and marks a significant setback for Rajasthan Royals in the 2026 Indian Premier League season.
