Young fast bowler Prince Yadav made headlines after he dismissed dangerous looking Travis Head in the ongoing IPL 2025 fixture between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Notably, Head, who smashed a fiery half-century in the previous game against Rajasthan Royals was also looking in great touch against LSG and was nearing his second fifty of the season.
However, Travis Head couldn’t spend much time at the crease as Prince Yadav cleared his stumps in the eight over of the innings. The SRH opener got out after scoring 47 runs off 28 balls. It turned out to be a big wicket as SRH went on to lose regular wickets after that. Prince took a wicket of a dangerous SRH batter. Apart from that, he also came up with a perfect throw while fielding to run Heinrich Klaasen out who was batting on 26(17) runs.
