Prince Yadav

Prince Yadav is a promising right-arm fast-medium bowler who has quickly made a name for himself as a tenacious pace-bowling prospect for both Delhi in domestic cricket and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Born on June 10, 1996, he rose through the Delhi youth system before catching the eye of IPL scouts following standout performances in the Delhi Premier League. After serving as a net bowler for LSG, he earned an official contract in 2025 and made an immediate impact by dismissing stars like Travis Head, signaling his ability to perform against top-tier international talent. His journey has been defined by persistence, overcoming early career setbacks to become a key strike bowler known for his disciplined line, length, and tactical awareness during the pressure-filled middle and death overs.

In the international arena, Prince Yadav recently earned his maiden call-up to the Indian team for the 2026 ODI series against Afghanistan, marking a significant milestone in his career. Making his debut on June 17, 2026, he immediately demonstrated his composure under the bright lights of the international stage, notably taking a key wicket of Azmatullah Omarzai in his second outing on June 20. With India looking to cultivate fresh pace-bowling depth for their upcoming cycles, Yadav’s ability to remain calm under pressure and execute precise, aggressive spells makes him a vital asset. As he continues to gain experience at the highest level, his trajectory—from a regional standout to a national prospect—positions him as a key figure to watch for selectors looking to bolster their bowling attack.
