IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s revenge reads 6,6,6,6; Praful Hinge taken apart in 24-run over
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered a stunning response to Praful Hinge. Sooryavanshi smashed four consecutive sixes in the opening over. This powerful start set the tone for his innings.
He reached his half-century in just 15 balls. This marked his third such rapid fifty this IPL season. Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins returned to action after recovering from a back issue.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered a fiery response to Praful Hinge, turning their earlier clash on its head in dramatic fashion during the IPL 2026 encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The last time the two faced off, Hinge had completely dominated the contest. He dismissed Sooryavanshi for a golden duck and went on to claim four wickets, earning the Player of the Match award.
Speaking after that game, Hinge had made his intent clear. “The best one was the first wicket of Sooryavanshi, because he was in form. I had already told a couple of people that I would get him out on the very first ball, either with a bouncer or in some way.
I just wanted his wicket on the first ball,” he had said. This time, however, the narrative flipped instantly. Opening the innings, Sooryavanshi took on Hinge in the very first over and unleashed a brutal counterattack.
