While everyone expected a blitzkrieg from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, debutant pacer Praful Hinge absolutely stole the show and made everyone aware of his capabilities as Sunrisers Hyderabad thumped Rajasthan Royals in Match 21 of IPL 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on Monday, April 13. This marked SRH’s second victory of the current season, as the visitors fell 57 short after bowling first.
RR had won the toss and asked SRH to set them a target. The game started with Abhishek Sharma holing out to deep third man for a golden duck. Travis Head, too, could not make a lasting impact and fell inside the powerplay. However, skipper Ishan Kishan (91 off 44) took full responsibility and received strong support from 40 off 26. Salil Arora and Nitish Kumar Reddy also contributed to SRH’s final score of 216-6.
RR’s run chase never really took off. Praful Hinge bowled a dreamy first over to mark a sensational start to his IPL career, sending back Sooryavanshi (0 off 1), Dhruv Jurel (0 off 2) and Lhuan-dre Pretorius (0 off 2) to leave the tourists reeling at 1 for 3 at the end of the first over itself. Fellow debutant Sakib Hussain also joined the party and sent Yashasvi Jaiswal back on just the fourth ball he bowled.
The party did not end for the young pace duo, as both picked up four wickets each, while Eshan Malinga did take the rest of the lot. With little to talk about RR’s batting, Donovan Ferreira (69 off 44) and Ravindra Jadeja (45 off 32) were the only notable contributors. The two also set 118 runs for the sixth wicket after their side reeled at five down for just nine runs.
After such a thunderous performance by the debutants, which also completely derailed the Royals, handing them their first defeat of the season, it is no surprise that the netizens shared quite a few memes with their hilarious takes on the match.
