Sunrisers Hyderabad Likely To Bench Record-Maker Praful Hinge After Just Two Games In IPL 2026 SRH Vs DC Playing Xis

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Praful Hinge, whose' record-breaking feat on an Indian Premier League (IPL) debut just a few days back grabbed the headlines, might have to warm the bench on Tuesday against Delhi Capitals at home, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Ishan Kishan hinted.

Hinge, who plays for Vidarbha in domestic cricket, made everyone stand and appreciate after he became the first bowler in the history of IPL to take three wickets in the first over of the innings against Rajasthan Royals, dismissing Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag.

At the coin toss on Tuesday, Kishan spoke about a few changes.“Oh, we have a few changes, like Madhusanka comes and I think Hinge might miss out, but still I'm not sure about it,” said Kishan when asked about the playing combination of Sunrisers Hyderabad. He also mentioned the inclusion of spinner Harsh Dubey.

“And then Harsh Dubey is back in the side because I feel, I think it can be a little slow track and especially we have to keep that spinning option to take the wickets,” added Kishan. However, the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper didn't open up on the exact reason why Hinge might miss out.

Interestingly, Sunrisers Hyderabad have named three overseas bowlers in the playing XI after being sent to bat first by Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel. Both Hinge and Madushanka are a part of impact sub list with the Sri Lankan to replace one player in the second innings.

Why Praful Hinge might not play?

After his impressive 4/34, Hinge was expensive against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), conceding 60 runs in his four overs at the expense of just one wicket. While his performance can be one of the reasons Hinge was kept out of the playing XI, he might come in the second innings as an impact sub, depending on the match situation.
