It’s a lot of pressure to have 30,000-plus fans pinning their hopes on you to close out a tight game. More so after you’ve made an imperious first impression with a four-fer on debut. On Saturday, 24-year-old Praful Hinge held his nerve to hand Sunrisers Hyderabad a 10-run win against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
A blistering half-century from Abhishek Sharma (59, 22b, 6×4, 4×6) and Heinrich Klaasen’s 59 (39b, 6×4, 2×6) lifted SRH to 194 for nine, its highest total against the Super Kings.
