Praful Hinge, a name unknown to anyone, to a name that will be remembered by everyone in the history of IPL. The pacer has caused a stir on the Rajasthan Royals bench with the most iconic spell in the history of the competition.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have been criticized for not picking many good players to back up their strong batting line-up, which has also managed to score over 200 runs on several occasions this season. However, the SRH team has just managed a solitary victory after playing good cricket in four games.

However, Sunrisers made some impactful changes to their team in the fifth match of the season when they hosted Rajasthan Royals at home. The Royals are the most explosive hitting unit of this edition so far.

Who is Praful Hinge? SRH’s new bowling sensation

Sunrisers Hyderabad finally announced a change in their bowling attack and brought in the two new pacers. It includes Vidarbha pacer Praful Hinge, who was picked as a result of excellent scouting by SRH scouts, even though the bowler had only played one domestic T20 game.

Hinge had an impressive start to the season, dismissing the RR opener for a duck on the first ball bowled to him and then surprising another in-form batsman in Dhruv Jurel, who was cleaned up on the second ball he faced.

His wicket tally never looked satisfied as he picked up a third wicket in that same over before dismissing captain Riyan Parag in the second over of his spell. He gave SRH the outlet with the ball that the team was looking for in the absence of Pat Cummins.

Early life and domestic career of Praful Hinge

Praful Hinge is a young right-arm seamer from Vidarbha who made his way to the IPL after some success in the Indian domestic circuit. In just 10 first-class matches, the 24-year-old has taken 27 wickets at an average of 26.7, highlighting his ability as a workhorse.

However, his exposure to white-ball cricket has been very limited so far as he has not featured in more than seven white-ball matches, including six List A matches and one T20 match. In white-ball cricket, he picked only 6 wickets in 7 matches, while his history in the IPL has surely proven his caliber in the format.

According to iplt20.com, Sunrisers Hyderabad picked him for the cost of INR 30 lakhs.
