Prince Yadav, the 23-year-old dynamic pacer from Delhi, captured attention during the thrilling IPL 2025 match between SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Demonstrating his cricket prowess, Yadav clinched the crucial wicket of Travis Head, leading SRH to a restricted score of 190/9 in 20 overs. He ended the game with impressive figures of 4-0-29-1.
From Delhi’s Cricket Fields to IPL Stardom
In the competitive cricketing circuits of the Delhi Premier League (DPL), Prince Yadav emerged as a significant talent. Playing under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant for the team Purani Delhi 6 in the 2024 season, Yadav took 13 wickets in 10 matches. His stellar performance not only earned him a debut in white-ball cricket for Delhi but also resulted in him being a top pick for the Lucknow Super Giants at an auction price of INR 30 lakh.
Continuing his upward trajectory, Yadav proved his mettle in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 trophy by securing 11 wickets and boasting an economy rate of 7.54. His exceptional skills made him Delhi’s lead wicket-taker in both the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Match Highlights: LSG vs SRH Face-off
Shardul Thakur played a pivotal role in tightening the screws on SRH’s scoring. With a spectacular four-wicket haul and delivering a fiery start, he managed to disrupt SRH’s lineup early in the game. However, Travis Head appeared indomitable, scoring 47 off 28 balls and fiercely attacking the opposition.
Yet, despite his powerful batting, Head’s luck waned as he was expertly bowled by Yadav, marking a significant turning point in the match. The game also witnessed an unusual run-out by Yadav and an explosive cameo from young Aniket Verma, adding further drama to the tight contest.
Key Takeaways and Future Prospects
