Hinge, Hussain and Kishan shine as SRH crush RR by 57 runs

Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain took four wickets each after Ishan Kishan's quickfire 91 as Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs in an Indian Premier League match here on Monday
Chasing 217, RR slipped to 9 for five inside first three overs and eventually finished at 159 in 19 overs, with Donovan Ferreira (69) and Ravindra Jadeja (45) putting on a 118-run sixth-wicket stand.
Earlier, Kishan played an instrumental role in lifting the SRH side who lost Abhishek Sharma (0) and Travis Head (18) early.
Kishan clobbered eight fours and six sixes to make 91 off only 44 balls as SRH made 216 for six.
SRH were also bolstered by Heinrich Klaasen's 26-ball 40, a quickfire 28 from Nitish Kumar Reddy and Salil Arora's 13-ball 24 not out.
In the previous innings, Skipper Ishan Kishan blazed away to a scintillating 44-ball 91 before a late charge by Nitish Reddy and Salil Arora lifted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 216 for six against Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League match here on Monday.
SRH skipper Kishan looked in sublime touch during his stay in the middle, hitting eight fours and six sixes while sharing 88 runs with Heinrich Klaasen (40 off 26 balls).
Towards the end, Reddy smashed a 13-ball 28 and Salil Arora remained not out on 24 off 13 balls to prop up SRH.
At the start of SRH innings, Abhishek Sharma looked to go for a big shot on the first ball and danced down the wicket, only to manage a slice off a Jofra Archer (2/37 in 4 overs) delivery for Ravi Bishnoi to complete a neat catch in the deep.
Kishan flicked Archer over short fine leg for a four and then deposited one into the stands over deep mid-wicket for a six.
In the next over, Kishan cleared third man for a maximum against Nandre Burger.
He then whacked Sandeep Sharma over his head for a big six and followed that up with a four off Tushar Deshpande through the midwicket region.
Even as Kishan found the boundaries with ease, Travis Head was struggling to get going and his stay came to an end when RR skipper Riyan Parag had him caught in the deep by Donovan Ferreira for a rusty 18-ball 18.
It was a bold move by Parag to bring himself in right after the powerplay, and it paid dividends.
Unperturbed by Head's dismissal, Kishan went about his task with absolute clarity and reached his 50 in 30 balls, with a huge six over deep midwicket off leg-spinner Bishnoi.
Thanks to the flurry of boundaries by Kishan, SRH's 100 was up in 10.3 overs with Deshpande leaking 21 runs in that over.
Klaasen lofted Bishnoi over long-on for a six, following it up with a four off Archer.
Kishan then collected three successive boundaries off Archer to move to 91, even as the lights went off briefly inside the stadium.
