‘To watch this guy is unbelievable’

4 min readMay 8, 2026 09:49 AM IST Lucknow Super Giants pacer Prince Yadav’s breakout IPL season got brighter on Wednesday night when he cleaned up Royal Challengers Bengaluru talisman Virat Kohli for a duck in Lucknow. With 16 wickets in 10 games, the LSG pacer has been among the leading pace stars this season, his latest three-wicket burst backing him for a potential India debut soon after the IPL season. It was Kohli’s first dismissal for a duck in the IPL in three years, and only the second time ever he was bowled out without scoring a run in an innings. In a rain-curtailed game, RCB were left to hunt a daunting 210 in 19 overs before Prince nipped out the chasemaster Kohli in the second over. Returning at the death to tighten the screws, Prince walked away with figures of 3/33 as LSG eked out a nine-run win.

His cousins Surender and Vikram have settled in around him—the family punctuated by his long absences at work. “Ab khush hai,” he says quietly, as if checking the truth of it by speaking. There had been reasons not to be. A former ASI from the Railway Protection Special Force, Ram Niwas had spent his career away from home. He knew what absence did. He knew what it meant to miss the small days. And when Prince told him, at eighteen, that he would …
