Imagine you are bowling to Virat Kohli, and you convincingly dismiss the star batter. How would you feel? Really happy, right? Well, it wasn’t Kohli this time, but Travis Head who met that fate. The Australian batter, cruising towards his half-century and dominating the innings, had his stumps rattled by 23-year-old fast bowler Prince Yadav.
The young pacer decisively removed the dangerous Australian batter just when he was looking set. The SRH superstar had started well, but when Prince Yadav came into the attack, Head—attempting to take him on—completely missed the ball, which crashed into his stumps. With this stunning dismissal, the 23-year-old bowler became the talk of the town.
Adding to the drama, Yadav also dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen, though luck played a big role in this one. He delivered a low full toss, which Nitish Kumar Reddy drilled straight back at him. The pacer attempted to catch it to his left, but the ball slipped from his hands, deflecting onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end, crashing into the middle stump.
So, who is Prince Yadav, and where is he from? Let’s take a look.
CASTLED!
