Player Summary

"Prince Yadav is a right-arm fast bowler who rose to white-ball prominence via the Delhi Premier League. In the 2024 season, he played for the Rishabh-Pant-led Purani Delhi 6, and stood out with his ability to vary pace with little change in action. He returned 13 wickets in ten matches, which earned him a white-ball debut for Delhi, for whom he had previously played two Ranji Trophy games.

Prince played his first T20 game against Uttar Pradesh in the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, a day before the IPL 2025 mega auction, and picked up two big wickets in a comfortable Delhi win: a set Nitish Rana and Sameer Rizvi. The next day, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) shelled out INR 30 lakh to sign him." - Excerpt from ESPNcricinfo profile.
