The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has unearthed yet another gem in 23-year-old cricketer Prince Yadav from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Yadav made headlines in IPL 2025 when he ran out Travis Head in LSG's fixtures against Sunrisers Hyderabad (LSG).

At the domestic level, he plays for Uttar Pradesh. His first-class debut came in 2022 against Karnataka. He later moved to Delhi, making his List A debut against Bengal in December 2024, followed by a T20 debut against Uttar Pradesh in November 2024. His primary skill sets are being a fast medium right-arm bowler while also being a right-hand batter.

This was a well-deserved reward after years of hard work Yadav can now boast of having a place in LSG. Winning this battle for his team was a significant achievement, as Travis Head is one of the fiercest T20 hitters and single-handedly destroys games. Nothing will be more satisfying for an LSG fan than remembering that at the time Yadav took his wicket, Head was bludgeoning the ball for 47 runs off 28 balls. This defeat for Head was crucial and showed Yadav could deliver in the big moments.

His performance will most likely get him more matches in IPL 2025. If he continues on this upward trajectory, it isn't unrealistic to envision him being a regular member of the playing 11, and perhaps bringing him into consideration for higher domestic or national accolades would not be too farfetched.

Prince Yadav's ascent from domestic cricket to the IPL is a reflection of his diligence and skill. LSG fans will be waiting to see if he can repeat a similar impact in the tournament. With a promising future ahead, Prince Yadav is definitely a player to watch out for in IPL 2025.
