Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pace bowling coach Varun Aaron applauded debutants Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who bowled stunning spells and took four wickets each as the team registered a thumping 57-run win against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Varun also stated that his only message for Sakib and Praful before the match was to enjoy the debut game and not think about the result as well.
“My only plan for them was to just enjoy the game because you debut only once in any format of cricket. Considering where they’ve come from, what they’ve done today is massive, and you’ve just got to enjoy it. My only plea before the game was that if I didn’t see them enjoying it, I’d be really angry, and they truly did enjoy it. We all did,” Varun Aaron told reporters after the match.
“The conversation was that he wanted to go around the wicket, and I was like, ‘No, you just stay over the wicket. I’m sure you’ll get him out. I mean, it’s teamwork, you know. At the end of the day, all credit goes to Praful. He had the conviction to get Vaibhav out. He said, ‘I’ve gotten Vaibhav out before, I’m going to get him out today. But the plan was his, the conviction was his, and I’m really happy for him,” Varun further added.
However, Praful had a dream debut as he claimed three wickets in his very first over, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to take three wickets in the opening over of an innings as well. He also registered the figures of 4-34 in his four overs over quota. On the other hand, Hussain scalped 4-24 as well.
