In the IPL 2026 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) emerged victorious by 57 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
In the second essay of the match, SRH`s Praful Hinge, and Impact Player, Sakib Hussain, bagged four wickets each to their names.
Having bowled four overs, Hinge conceded 34 runs, whereas Hussain leaked 24 runs in his spell of four overs.
Reflecting on their match-winning performances, Hyderabad`s pace bowling coach Varun Aaron said that it was a dream come true moment for the team.
“To see two debutants come out and bowl the way they did tonight was a dream come true for the team,” he said.
He also said that the game plan was to stay committed to the execution and labelled their performances as “massive”.
“The key was for us to just commit to our execution and that`s exactly what we did right from the get-go. My only plan for them was just to enjoy the game. Because you debut only once in any form of cricket and I feel from where they have come, both the bowlers, and what they have done today is massive,” said Aaron.
In an attempt to chase a target of 217 runs, the Royals were bowled out for 159 runs in 19 overs.
Following the win, SRH is placed in the fourth position with two wins and three defeats. They have a net run rate (NRR) of +0.576 and four points. On the other hand, despite suffering the loss, RR is still at the top of the table with a net run rate (NRR) of +0.899 and eight points. They have won four matches and suffered one loss.
SRH will now lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on April 18 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
