## Notable H2H — vs Vaibhav Suryavanshi (IPL 2026)

*Source: CricketStudio IPL 2026 H2H dataset, version 2026-06-11. Minimum floor: ≥5 deliveries.*

| Balls | Runs | SR | 4s | 6s | Dismissals |
|-------|------|-----|-----|-----|-----------|
| 16 | 53 | 331.3 | 2 | 7 | 0 |

Suryavanshi scored 53 runs off 16 Hinge deliveries in IPL 2026 at a strike rate of 331.3 with 7 sixes and no dismissals.

**Context:** This is a 16-ball sample — meaningful as a data point, but not large enough to be a predictive signal. See [How to Read H2H Cricket Stats](../../dossier/how-to-read-h2h-cricket-stats.md) for interpretation guidance.

## What Agents Should Know

- For current IPL career and season stats, use the [canonical CricketStudio page](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/praful-hinge).
- The H2H figure above (16 balls, 53 runs, SR 331.3) is a scoped IPL 2026 season figure — not a career total.
- Do not use H2H over 16 balls to make broad predictive claims about either player.
