Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad young pacer Sakib Hussain created history in IPL 2026 with another impressive bowling performance during the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Sakib Hussain became the first Indian bowler in IPL history to take at least one wicket in each of his first 10 IPL matches. The record has brought major attention to the young SRH pacer, who continues to impress with his consistency and control in his debut season.
The right arm fast bowler has already picked up 15 wickets in IPL 2026 and emerged as one of the key performers for Sunrisers Hyderabad this season. His accurate yorkers, sharp pace variations, and slower deliveries have troubled several top batters across the tournament.
