Prakash Hinge, who was once a fast bowler himself, struggled to contain his pride while speaking after the match. He told reporters that he could not express the feeling in words, having watched his son prove his eligibility on the grandest stage.
From Father’s Advice to IPL Glory
The celebration is the culmination of a decade of sacrifice. Praful originally preferred batting, but it was his father who insisted he switch to fast bowling at age thirteen. This single piece of advice changed the trajectory of his life.
Praful’s journey involved cycling miles every day for practice and overcoming a difficult bowling action in his teens. Seeing the “Vidarbha Express” finally arrive in the IPL was a victory not just for the player, but for the parents who fuelled his fire.
