What's next on the menu? The base stays in South India, as next up, we move back to Chepauk. Chennai Super Kings will go up against Kolkata Knight Riders, with the Knight Riders yet to register their first win of the season. That game will be played on Tuesday, 14th April, and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But our buildup begins well in advance, so do mark your presence for that as well. Until then, we sign off. Cheers!

The rookies rule in Hyderabad - An evening that well and truly belongs to Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain. SRH are back to winning ways and lift themselves up to the fourth spot with a lot of positives to look upon for their next assignment. They will now meet the Chennai Super Kings at home on Saturday, 18th April at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). As for the Rajasthan Royals, despite a heavy defeat, they remain crowned at the top. They will next face the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Sunday, 19th April, at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT).

23:41 (IST) Apr 13

The captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad - Ishan Kishan says he is definitely happy with the win and the 2 points, adding that this is the kind of performance they expected from their bowlers, who came in and enjoyed themselves. Kishan also highlights the hunger among the young bowlers, noting that they have been working hard with the bowling coach, Varun Aaron. He adds that their performances in the practice matches were encouraging and that they carried that form into the game. On the batting unit, he says the players are in good form and backs Abhishek Sharma's natural approach, adding that if he gets going, he can take the team to a strong total. Kishan also mentions that as a captain, he felt there was some miscommunication in the earlier games when he was keeping, and time was lost in conversation with the bowlers, which influenced his decision not to take the gloves in this game.

00:06 (IST) Apr 14

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - No surprises here. It's Praful Hinge who wins the award for his fantastic spell of 4/34, including 14 dots. He says this debut was something he had quite literally manifested. Reveals that as far back as last year, he had visualised making his IPL debut and taking four to five wickets, adding that he is a firm believer in the power of manifestation. Reflecting on his journey, Hinge shares he began playing cricket at the age of 13 without even knowing what leather ball cricket was, and had to ask his father to take him to an academy. He dedicates the award to his family, acknowledging the countless sacrifices they made along the way. On his favourite wicket of the night, he, without any hesitation, picks Sooryavanshi's wicket, saying he is in terrific form and that he had actually told a few people beforehand that he would get him out on the first ball with a bouncer. He further adds that a conversation with bowling coach Varun Aaron helped him draw the plan, and it paid off perfectly. On his physical condition, Hinge says he is feeling fine and takes a moment to thank the MRF Pace Academy for looking after him well during his time there.

... Time for the post-match Presentation ...

00:04 (IST) Apr 14

One of the stars with the ball is up next - SRH's Sakib Hussain says that every player dreams of such a debut. On when he found out he would be playing, Sakib reveals that bowling coach Varun Aaron had informed him a day in advance, giving him the time to prepare and settle his nerves. He credits Aaron, saying he had been working closely with him over the last few months and that all the credit for his performance belongs to his coach.

23:50 (IST) Apr 13

Reflecting on the defeat - The captain of the Rajasthan Royals, Riyan Parag, credits the way the two debutants bowled for SRH, saying they were outstanding. He admits there were a few miscalculations from their side but adds that they will treat it as a blip and not dwell on it too much. Riyan feels bowling second might have been the better option, though he acknowledges that it is easy to say that in hindsight. He explains that with the new ball, there was some stickiness with the shine on, but once it wore off, it slowed down. Parag says he has not seen much of the debutants in domestic cricket, though he has played against Sakib Hussain before. Mentions that they started really well with the ball, and not bowling Ravindra Jadeja was a split-second decision against Ishan Kishan. Riyan points out that even after being 9/5, getting to 159 shows the depth in their batting. He signs off by saying it is just a blip and they will move on as they head to Kolkata.

23:49 (IST) Apr 13

The Ishan Kishan show in Hyderabad - Sunrisers Hyderabad crossed 200 once again, though it was far from a collective effort from the top. Abhishek Sharma was gone off the very first ball, with Head departing soon after, leaving the innings in need of a foundation. Kishan provided exactly that, taking time to settle before unleashing a stunning 91 that gave SRH the platform they needed. Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Salil Arora then chipped in through the back end to push the total past the 200-mark. Rajasthan Royals will look back at the final five overs with some frustration, having conceded 62 in that stretch. Their overseas pacers, Archer and Burger, were impressive throughout, but Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma leaked 107 runs in their collective 8 overs, ultimately costing the side in the death overs.

23:48 (IST) Apr 13

A partnership to restore some pride - The ball got softer, the movement waned, and suddenly, batting felt a lot more hospitable. But RR had already lost half their side, and the hole they were in was deep. Jadeja and Ferreira refused to throw in the towel. Through the middle phase, the two dug in and batted with togetherness. A 118-run partnership, a valiant half century from Ferreira, and some composed batting through the spin overs gave RR's innings a spine it looked unlikely to have after that devastating opening burst. But just as hope flickered, it was snuffed out. Ferreira and Jadeja fell within four balls of each other, and with them went RR's last realistic chance of pulling a rabbit out of the hat. Both the debutants, Praful and Sakib, ended their spells with four wickets each and conceded just 58 runs across their eight overs, in what was a debut they will remember for life.

00:00 (IST) Apr 14

The City of Pearls unearths the gems - There are stories, and then there are fairytales. Tonight, Hyderabad wrote one in the first three overs. Praful Hinge, on his IPL debut, was thrown straight into the furnace against two of the most deadly openers this season. He came up trumps in style with a three-wicket first over. Sooryavanshi was beaten for pace, Jurel's off stump was flattened, and Pretorius was caught in the deep. Another debutant, Sakib Hussain, looked at Hinge and said, you are not alone, mate. Jaiswal, dangerous as ever, was his prey. Parag edged one to slip to become Hinge's fourth victim, and just like that, RR were 9/5.

23:45 (IST) Apr 13

Belter bites the batting giants - A graveyard for bowlers. That is what the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has built its reputation on. A surface that has witnessed scores breaking all the mathematical possibilities. And if the pitch was not daunting enough, both sides had brought their most fearsome weapons to the party. JaiSoorya, the alliance of Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal, against Travishek, the Head and Abhishek combination, two of the most destructive opening pairs this season, all set to light up the night. But sport has a habit of tearing up the script. Two opening pairs that have habitually tormented bowlers for fun, that have made a mockery of totals and reduced attacks to rubble, could not fire at all.

23:28 (IST) Apr 13

SRH outbowl and outbat RR - Coming into this game, Rajasthan Royals were looking like an unstoppable force, having beaten the likes of CSK, RCB, MI and GT. But it all took two uncapped Indian bowlers to stop this ruthless juggernaut. This victory will taste a lot sweeter for the Sunrisers as there were a lot of question marks behind their bowling unit. Thin on experience, reshuffled and untested. But in the most emphatic fashion imaginable, those doubts just might have been silenced.

Eshan Malinga to Tushar Deshpande, OUT! c Ishan Kishan b Eshan Malinga.OUT! CAUGHT! The Royals are no longer unbeaten. A night to remember for the Orange Army. SRH hand RR their first defeat of the season with this 57-run win. Eshan Malinga attempts the yorker but it comes out as a full toss, on off and middle. Tushar swings at it. Slices it off the outer half towards extra cover, where Ishan Kishan settles under it and gobbles it up. Deshpande takes a chance as he reviews with the hope of the ball being above his waist. The third umpire is summoned for a check and he does not even need the Ball Tracker as the ball is below the waist to the naked eye. Malinga finishes with a couple of wickets, but the night belonged to the two debutants who got together and took down the league leaders.

A fine knock from the Proteas all-rounder so far, but the job is far from being done, and he knows it too. Keeps the celebration calm and collected.

Shivang Kumar to Donovan Ferreira, No run.BEATEN! Completely misses it. Full and a deceptive googly, around off. Donovan Ferreira fails to pick the wrong'un and swooshes hard at it to smash downtown, but misses as the ball spins past the outside edge. Salil Arora failed to gather the ball, and it popped out of his gloves. Well, well, there was a sound, and the UltraEdge confirms the outside edge.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Looks like whatever swing was on offer has waned away now as the ball has gotten softer. The Royals will definitely feel the sting of losing too many wickets way early. But you cannot simply take the credit away from the way Praful and Sakib have bowled on their debut. Though Jadeja and Ferreira have somewhat steadied the sinking ship for the tourists, needing 159 from 72 balls, is still a mountainous ask. Also, the fact that this is the last recognised batting pair for RR. The Sunrisers will aim to break this stand as quickly as possible and expose one end to completely boss the game. Shivang Kumar (1-0-11-0) to continue after the break.

Donovan Ferreira looks to force it away on the off side but the ball kicks up a bit to catch a thickish outside edge. It flies wide of short third to his right for another four.
