PRAFUL HINGE

Praful Hinge has emerged as the breakout sensation of IPL 2026, making global headlines with a historic debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).A "hit-the-deck" specialist hailing from Nagpur, Hinge’s journey from the Vidarbha domestic circuit to the grand stage of the IPL is a testament to his persistence.After going unsold in 2025, he was snapped up by SRH for ₹30 lakh—a move that looks like the bargain of the season.In his debut match against Rajasthan Royals, he became the first player in IPL history to claim three wickets in the very first over of an innings, dismantling a formidable top order. With a high arm action and natural bounce, this T20 specialist has quickly filled the void left by senior pacers, establishing himself as a vital cog in the SRH bowling arsenal.
