Prince Yadav Debuts for India, Makes Notable Catch in ODI Against AfghanistanPreviousNext

Prince Yadav made his international debut for India in the second ODI against Afghanistan in Lucknow, marking a significant milestone after a two-year BCCI ban in 2019 for age-fudging. The 24-year-old fast bowler, known for his pace and IPL performances including dismissing Virat Kohli, impressed with a notable diving catch to dismiss Afghanistan opener Ibrahim Zadran. India made three changes to their playing XI, with Yadav's athletic fielding becoming a highlight alongside strong batting performances from Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan.
