Father: Ram Niwas Yadav
Prince Yadav is a promising right-arm fast bowler who burst onto the scene through the Delhi Premier League, where his ability to vary pace with minimal change in action caught the attention of scouts. The 24-year-old pacer played for Purani Delhi 6 in the 2024 DPL season, returning 13 wickets in ten matches, which earned him a white-ball debut for Delhi. His big break came in the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he picked up two key wickets a day before the IPL mega auction, prompting the Lucknow Super Giants to sign him for INR 30 lakh. Yadav went on to finish as Delhi’s highest wicket-taker in both the SMAT season and the Vijay Hazare Trophy that followed, establishing himself as a reliable pace option in India’s domestic white-ball circuit. His consistent performances earned him a retention by LSG ahead of the 2026 IPL season.
