IPL 2025: Who is Prince Yadav? – All you need to know about LSG’s pacer who dismissed Travis Head

The dangerous-looking Travis Head was recently eliminated by Prince Yadav during Thursday, March 27, Indian Premier League Match 7 between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Notably, Head was the promising quick’s first IPL wicket.

Prince Yadav highlight was a historic Delhi Premier League season in which he took 13 wickets in 10 innings.

The right-armer competed for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024–25 and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. Prince took 11 wickets for Delhi in eight Twenty20 matches, giving up just 7.54 runs per over. After taking 11 wickets in six innings at an average of 22, he became Delhi’s top wicket-taker in the VHT.

Following these performances, he was bought by LSG at the two-day mega auction in Jeddah last November for INR 30 lakh. Interestingly, Prince played net bowling for the LSG in 2023. He debuted on March 24 in LSG’s matchup with the Delhi Capitals. But it was a game to forget. In his allotted four overs, Prince gave up 47 runs.

The outcome of Prince’s second game was considerably more favourable. In the end, he only gave up 29 runs in his four overs. For his side, Head’s ejection was a real game changer. Throughout his entire tenure, he gave up just two fours against a strong SRH batting order.

Prince has participated in just two First-Class cricket matches. In the red-ball format, he has only been able to claim one wicket. But in terms of any of the white-ball configurations, Prince appears to be an intriguing prospect. How he performs for LSG the rest of the season will be intriguing to watch.
