New Delhi:Sunrisers Hyderabad are feeling more confident going into their game against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday after revealing two exciting pace prospects in Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain. The uncapped pair, brought in to replace experienced players Harshal Patel and , made an immediate impact, knocking the Rajasthan Royals down to 9 for 5 in the first three overs and giving them their first loss of the season. Hinge, a 24-year-old pacer from Vidarbha, stole the show by taking down the Royals' top order, which included Dhruv Jurel, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, and captain Riyan Parag, in a fiery opening spell. He ended with numbers of 4/34. He was hard to deal with because he could get a lot of bounce out of a back-of-a-length. Husain, a 21-year-old from Bihar who wasn't well-known before, was a good match for him.Brought in to help veteran players Harshal Patel and , the two players who had never played in the IPL before made an immediate impact, sending the Rajasthan Royals to 9 for 5 in the first three overs and giving them their first loss of the season. The 24-year-old Vidarbha pacer Hinge stole the show with a fiery opening spell that took out the Royals' top order, which included Dhruv Jurel, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, and captain Riyan Parag. He ended with numbers of 4/34.
The young duo's rise has made SRH's pace attack much stronger, which used to be a weak spot. It has also added balance to a team that already has a lot of batting power in Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and . Hinge and Husain are riding high after their breakout performances. Now they want to test CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has had a hard time getting runs this season, with a top score of just 28 in five innings. But CSK can relax a little because Sanju Samson is back in form. He hit an unbeaten century against the Delhi Capitals and then followed it up with a 48 against KKR.
Since Gaikwad isn't playing well, CSK might want to change their batting order. They might move up young Ayush Mhatre, who has done well in his last four innings with two fifties. The five-time champions started off badly, losing three games in a row. However, they have since bounced back with two wins in a row. They are still without , who is expected to return for the next game in Mumbai. But their bowling unit has suffered because left-arm pacer has been ruled out for the season due to a quadriceps injury he got against KKR. CSK will have to change their pace attack because they are already missing Dhoni and Nathan Ellis. Mukesh Choudhary could be an option for the new ball, and Ramakrishna Ghosh is another one.
