Prince Yadav (born 12 December 2001)[1] is an Indian international cricketer who plays as a right-arm fast-medium bowler[2]. He plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL).[3]
Early life
Prince Yadav was born on 10 June , 1996 in Delhi, India.[4] Growing up in a family that encouraged sports, he began playing cricket at a young age and was enrolled in a local cricket academy at age 12 to focus on fast bowling.[5]
In December 2019, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) banned Yadav from domestic cricket for two seasons after he was found guilty of age fudging.[citation needed] Yadav had submitted a birth certificate claiming he was born on 12 December 2001.
However, after investigating a complaint, the BCCI cross-checked his records with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which confirmed he passed his Class X exams in 2012 and that his actual date of birth is 10 June 1996.[6]
Domestic career
Yadav rose through the ranks of Delhi's junior cricket system, representing the Delhi Under-19 team in 2018. He made his first-class debut for the senior Delhi team in January 2024 during a Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir.[7]
He made his List A debut for Delhi in the 2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he notably took 4/53 against Tripura.[8] His performances in the Delhi Premier League T20, where he took 13 wickets in 10 matches for the New Delhi Tigers, were pivotal in earning him attention from IPL franchises.[5]
Indian Premier League
Yadav was signed by the Lucknow Super Giants for his base price of ₹30 lakh during the IPL 2025 auction, having previously served as a net bowler for the team.[5] He made his IPL debut on 24 March 2025 against Delhi Capitals.[9] During his debut season, he claimed his first IPL wicket by bowling Travis Head in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.[10] In the 2026 IPL season, he recorded his best bowling figures of 2/20 against Delhi Capitals.[9] As of April 2026, he has taken 9 wickets in 10 IPL matches.[11]
