April 14 (Reuters) - Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling coach Varun Aaron lauded debutant bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain for their standout performances against Rajasthan Royals, saying he knew they had an X-factor that sets them apart.
Hinge (4-34) and Hussain (4-24)ran riot through the Rajasthan batting line-up with incisive spells as Hyderabad secured a commanding 57-run victory after posting 216-6.
"I mean, to see two debutants come out and bowl the way they did tonight was a dream come true for the team," Aaron told reporters.
"When I had seen them across different tournaments and in the nets, I always knew they had the X-factor. They have something different which can stand out especially in times like these where batsmen are just going hell for leather.
"... 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."
Hinge took three wickets in the opening over, including teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, India wicket-keeper-batter Dhruv Jurel and South Africa batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius.
The feat made Hinge the first bowler to take three wickets in the opening over of an IPL match.
