While Hinge rattled the top order with three wickets in the very first over, it was Bihar\u2019s Sakib Hussain whose life story stole the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born into extreme poverty in Gopalganj, Sakib once played tennis-ball cricket for a few hundred rupees to support his family after his father, a farmer, was sidelined by injury. The turning point came when his mother, Subuktara Khatun, sold her jewelry to buy him a pair of cricket spikes. Those very shoes paved the way for a dream debut where he clinicaly scalped 4 wickets for just 24 runs, ending RR&#8217;s four-match winning streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After being released by KKR and initially going unsold, Sakib worked on his pace under coach Robin Singh to hit the 150 kmph mark. Spotted by Varun Aaron at the MRF Academy, he was picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad for 30 Lakhs\u2014a gamble that paid off instantly. Sakib\u2019s journey from having no shoes to becoming the match-winner for SRH is a testament to sacrifice, speed, and sheer willpower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IPL witnessed an emotional and historic night on Monday as two youngsters, Prafull Hinge and Sakib Hussain, dismantled the mighty Rajasthan Royals.
