The most memorable moment was definitely the demotion of 15-year-old sensational Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. It was the result of flawless plan with coaching bowler Varun Aaron. Through executing a sharp bounce which snagged the top edge of the ball, Hinge took the form opener to the back of the net to an unbeatable duck.
