Prince Yadav Stuns Kohli with His Own Tip in IPL Thriller
1 min read
The IPL 2025 narrative took a dramatic twist when Prince Yadav, LSG’s breakout star, used Virat Kohli’s advice to devastating effect. Dismissing the RCB skipper for zero in their Lucknow clash, the pacer starred in a nail-biting 9-run victory defending 212.
With RCB needing Kohli’s stability for the chase, Prince struck early in his second over. A teasing second-ball delivery jagged back, evading the prod and demolishing the stumps. Kohli’s shock was palpable – his first duck in eight years of IPL.
In the presser, Prince spilled the beans: ‘Virat bhaiya told me after the last game: bowl where you’re getting assistance. I stuck to it religiously.’ His haul included three key wickets for 33 runs, crippling RCB’s middle order. Padikkal and Karthik fell too, as RCB limped to 203.
Marsh’s 111 lit up LSG’s innings, setting the tone. Prince’s 16 wickets from 10 outings make him LSG’s spearhead and the league’s third-highest wicket-taker. This masterclass reaffirms the depth of India’s young fast bowling talent.
