Before the IPL-19 encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Hyderabad on Monday evening, Vidarbha pacer Praful Hinge, 24, was an unknown entity. However, after the debutant SRH speedster struck thrice in the very first over of the innings, sending back teen batting sensation opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (0), one-drop Dhruv Jurel (0) and No. 4 Lhuan-dre Pretorius (0), he has become a household name.
Hinge got Sooryavanshi with a short one that was skied and pouched by wicketkeeper Salil Arora. Two balls later, he had Jurel bowled with a length delivery. Two balls after this, he sent back Pretorious flicking one to Nitish Reddy at deep backward square.
