Debut Duo Hinge and Sakib Stun RR, Shatter Four-Game Streak

Sunrisers Hyderabad rolled the dice on raw, uncapped kids. It worked wonders. Debutants Praful Hinge, with 4/34, and Sakib Hussain, grabbing 4/24, carved through Rajasthan Royals to bundle them out for 159. SRH pocketed a 57-run thumping in Match 21 at Uppal. Ishan Kishan's blistering 91 dragged them to 216/6 first up. That snapped RR's run of four straight wins.

Varun Aaron, the bowling coach, lit up talking about it—a dream debut, he said, all down to the management's trust in his domestic finds. Hinge went at 8.50 an over. Sakib squeezed tighter, 6.00. Bench depth like that shone without Brydon Carse around, injured. Early on, RR seemed comfy. Then these two flipped it.

Carse out, Dilshan Madushanka in his spot. SRH's youngsters delivered anyway. RR's chase folded fast under that rookie heat. IPL's full of blindsides from nowhere.
