Praful Hinge, a young and promising fast bowler from Vidarbha, Maharashtra, had an incredible evening. When he made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad, he crushed Rajasthan Royals with an incredible first over, taking three wickets and almost winning the game right then.
He removed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was in excellent form going into this match, on the opening ball of the innings. Later, Hinge became the first bowler in IPL history to take three wickets in the first over after taking out Lhuan-dre Pretorius and in-form Dhruv Jurel.
Praful’s parents were ecstatic about their son’s heroics in the IPL following his outstanding performance. The pacer’s father, Prakash Hinge, revealed his first impressions.
“I can’t express it in words. Because, today he had a record breaking outing by picking up 3 wickets in his first ever over and proved his eligibility. I am also a fast bowler,” said Praful’s father in conversation with NECO Master Blaster.
He continued by thanking the 2016 IPL winners, particularly Varun Aaron, the bowling coach for the SRH, for providing Praful with an opportunity to establish himself in India’s top T20 tournament.
“And today Sunrisers Hyderabad team has given him a chance. I would like to thank Sunrisers Hyderabad’s coach, captain and management. Especially Varun Aaron sir, because he is their bowling coach,” he continued.
The fact that Praful’s son removed teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who had lately destroyed players like Josh Hazlewood, Jasprit Bumrah, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, really pleased Praful’s father.
“The way he bowled his first over and took a wicket of Dhurandhar batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, it was a commendable performance. Because he was bowling at around 140 kmph. And I think he will perform like this in every match,” he concluded.
