Hinge, who plays for Vidarbha in domestic cricket, made everyone stand and appreciate after he became the first bowler in the history of IPL to take three wickets in the first over of the innings against Rajasthan Royals, dismissing Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag.
At the coin toss on Tuesday, Kishan spoke about a few changes. “Oh, we have a few changes, like Madhusanka comes and I think Hinge might miss out, but still I'm not sure about it,” said Kishan when asked about the playing combination of Sunrisers Hyderabad. He also mentioned the inclusion of spinner Harsh Dubey.
“And then Harsh Dubey is back in the side because I feel, I think it can be a little slow track and especially we have to keep that spinning option to take the wickets,” added Kishan. However, the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper didn't open up on the exact reason why Hinge might miss out.
