Prince Yadav, a pacer for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), made news in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) with his outstanding performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). From minor competitions to the big stage of the IPL, a video of him bowling with a tennis ball from his early cricketing days went viral online. On X, the video gained hundreds of likes and went viral.
After his impressive domestic cricket exploits, LSG signed the right-arm bowler at his basic fee of INR 30 lakh. In the 2024–25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the Uttar Pradesh native led Delhi in wicket-taking with 11 and helped them advance to the semifinals.

With LSG facing multiple injury concerns ahead of IPL 2025,
the 27-year-old got his opportunity to debut in their opening match against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Visakhapatnam. However, he had a tough outing, conceding 47 runs in his spell. Despite the start, he bounced back brilliantly against SRH, dismissing Travis Head and running out Heinrich Klaasen, proving his ability.
The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow will host LSG’s next game against the Punjab Kings (PK) on April 1.
