IPL-19: Dream debut of pacers Prafulla Hinge and Saqib Hussain, SRH breaks RR’s unbeaten streak

By Samira Vishwas

Hyderabad, 13 April. The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal lit up on Monday night with the dream debut of two young pacers – Prafulla Hinge (4-34) and Saqib Hussain (4-24). The result of the bravery of these bowlers was that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) not only broke the unbeaten streak of Rajasthan Royals (RR), who were topping the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL-19) points table, with a resounding victory of 57 runs, but also made a spectacular comeback on home ground after two consecutive defeats.

Prafull registered his name in the record book of IPL in the debut match itself.

In fact, 24-year-old Prafulla from Vidarbha (Nagpur) registered his name in the IPL record books in his debut match itself, when he took three wickets in his very first over. He became the only bowler to perform such a charismatic performance in the 19-year history of IPL.

Hyderabad had scored 216 runs due to the stormy innings of Ishan Kishan.

There is no doubt that SRH, forced to bat first, had scored a huge score of 216 runs for six wickets due to the stormy innings of captain Ishan Kishan (91 runs, 44 balls, six sixes, eight fours). This innings would have been enough to make headlines on any normal night. But Hinge’s sensational opening over stole all the limelight.

Prafulla returned Vaibhav, Jurel and Priorius in the very first over.

‘Player of the Match’ Prafulla, who has shown explosive style till now, sent Vaibhav Suryavanshi to the pavilion in the very first over of the innings on a ‘golden duck’ (out on the very first ball without scoring any runs). Then Dhruv Jurel (0) on the fourth ball and South African Luan-Dre Pretorius (0) on the sixth ball were also disappointed.

Half of Rajasthan team had returned within 9 runs in 3 overs.

But Hinge was not the only one who made his arrival on this big stage memorable. Along with him, 21-year-old Bihar paceman Saqib Hussain, who made his debut, bid farewell to Yashasvi (one run) in the second over, while in the third over, Hinge shocked the Rajasthani camp by dismissing captain Riyan Parag (four runs). Why wouldn’t this have happened, half the team had returned at nine runs and the result of the match was also decided here.

Ferreira and Jadeja’s century partnership is meaningless in front of Hinge and Shakib

However, after this, Donovan Ferreira (69 runs, 44 balls, three sixes, seven fours) and Ravindra Jadeja (45 runs, 32 balls, five fours) tried their best to pull the Royals’ boat with a partnership of 118 runs on 72 balls. But the target was far away by then.

score card

Ultimately, Hussain broke the partnership by returning Ferreira in the 15th over and after three balls, Ishan Malinga (2-31) bid farewell to Jadeja, then Rajasthani innings could not go far and was reduced to 159 runs in 19 overs. In this way, both the debutant bowlers left Rajasthan Royals disappointed by taking eight wickets for 58 runs among themselves.

Rajasthan Royals on top despite first defeat

At present, despite the first defeat in five matches, Rajasthan Royals remain on top of the points table with eight points. At the same time, with the help of second win in five matches, Hyderabadi team has now reached fourth place in the current season after the only unbeatable team Punjab Kings (seven points in four matches) and defending champion Royal Challengers Bangalore (six points in four matches) with four points.

Apart from Kishan, Clasen, Nitish and Salil also showed their strong hands.

Before this, if we look at SRH’s innings, apart from Kishan’s explosive innings, Heinrich Klaasen (40 runs, 26 balls, three sixes, one four) and then Nitish Kumar Reddy (28 runs, 13 balls, four sixes) and Salil Arora (24 runs not out, 13 balls, two sixes, two fours) in the slog overs, the score crossed 210.

Kishan made quick half-century partnerships with Head and Klaasen

However, Abhishek Sharma (0) fell victim to Joffra Archer (2-34) on the very first ball of the innings. But Kishan picked up speed as soon as he landed. He added 55 runs in 40 balls with Travis Head (18 runs, 18 balls, three fours). Kishan, who scored his second fifty of the season, then made another quick partnership of 88 runs in 39 balls with Klaasen for the third wicket. In the end Nitish and Salil gave the team an impenetrable target.
