Milestone
All the build-up to this fixture was about the opening pairs of both sides. But two debutants in Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain grabbed the headlines with a scintillating bowling performance, helping Sunrisers Hyderabad grab their second win of IPL 2026.
Rajasthan Royals lost three wickets in the first over of the chase and they were playing the catch-up game since then. They will have to forget this loss quickly as it was a rare off-day for them, resulting in their first loss this season.
That wraps up our coverage of this game. Do join us tomorrow as Chennai Super Kings will be hosting Kolkata Knight Riders. For now, this is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commenatators Ninaad Dixit, Darpan Tikiya, AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorers Manish Bishnoi and Paras Yadav. Bye bye.

Praful Hinge (Player of the Match): [if he ever dreamt of such a debut] "I manifested this last year. If I made a debut I wanted to take 4-5 wickets and wanted to dominate the powerplay. I believe in manifesting.
[on his life] I started playing at the age of 13. Didn't know what is leather ball cricket. I asked my father to take me to a club. I want to dedicate this award to my family. They made plenty of sacrifices for me.
[on his thinking and favorite wicket] Sooryavanshi's wicket was the best because he is in form. I told some people that I would get him out first ball with a bouncer. I spoke to Varun Aaron regarding the plans and it paid off.
[on his body and injuries] I am okay right now. I want to thank MRF Pace Academy to take good care of me when I went there."

Player of the Match: Praful Hinge
Ishan Kishan (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain): "[How happy is he?] Definitely happy with this win and get two points. That's what we were expecting from our bowlers. Come in and enjoy their time and happy with this bowling performance.
[On giving the opportunity to Hinge and Sakib] You also have to look at how hungry the young bowlers are. They were working hard with our coaches and Varun Aaron. That's something we were looking for. We wanted to give them a chance to play at home. They did well in the practice matches. I think that was a good decision.
[His thoughts on the first-innings total] I think looking at the batting unit and the form that these guys are carrying. The way Abhishek plays, he plays that way. Our job is to carry the game forward. But if he (Abhishek) gets going, he will take you to 260 or something close to it.
[Reason behind not keeping wickets tonight?] As a captain, I thought there was some miscommunication. I think we used to lose some time while talking with the bowler. So, I decided to field tonight.
[Is this the way forward?] Hopefully, yes."
