Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling coach, Varun Aaron, praised debutant bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain for their exceptional performances against Rajasthan Royals. Hinge took 4-34 and Hussain took 4-24, dismantling the Rajasthan batting line-up as Hyderabad secured a 57-run victory after posting 216 for six.

Aaron expressed his delight at seeing the two debutants shine on their first outing, noting that he always believed they possessed an X-factor that set them apart from others. He emphasized the importance of enjoying the game, which both Hinge and Hussain did during their impressive spells.
