Aaron Finch has described young fast-bowling sensations Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain as the stories of IPL 2026.

Former Indian cricket team batter Manoj Tiwary slammed Kolkata Knight Riders for not utilising fast bowler Sakib Hussain after the youngster's heroics for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Praful Hinge arrived on the big stage, and how. The 24-year-old from Vidarbha decimated the famed Rajasthan Royals batting line-up with a three-wicket burst in the first over

Pacer Sakib Hussain, along with fellow debutant Praful Hinge, became the talk of the town after their sensational spells powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to a commanding 57-run victory over Rajasthan Royals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pace bowling coach Varun Aaron heaped praise on debutants Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who bowled a brilliant spell and took four wickets each.

Sunrisers Hyderabad debutant pacer Praful Hinge's journey has emerged as a truly inspirational story for aspiring cricketers.

Both bowlers delivered standout performances, but it was Praful Hinge who grabbed the spotlight by claiming three wickets in his very first over, including the prized scalp of batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for a golden duck.

It was a pacers' day out at the Uppal Stadium as after a commanding 91 from skipper Ishan, two untested debutants, Praful and Sakib, etched their names in IPL history with four-fers on their debut.

"I have not seen them a lot domestically," Riyan Parag admitted after the match, referring to SRH pace duo of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain.

Talk about manifestation, and Praful Hinge's dream IPL debut on Monday will now stand as a shining example. Playing his first IPL match for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Vidarbha bowler picked up 4/34 against Rajasthan Royals.
