Prince Yadav Playing Style & Role

Batting Technique & Key Strengths

Yadav is a batsman and he is a tail-ender who is a right-hander. His best figure in the IPL 2025 was against Mumbai Indians - 5 not out. Though it is not anything to write home about, he is known for his ability to stay calm under pressure and rotate the strike well. Then again, batting isn’t his forte.

Bowling Action & Variations

Yadav is a right arm fast bowler who is known for his yorkers during the death overs. He uses a smooth run-up to generate pace and he is known for maintaining a stable bowling action, often mixing yorkers with clever slower balls and bouncers to catch batsmen off-guard. He consistently can bowl at around 150 kmph and can deliver toe-crushing yorkers at death overs. While he is still young, he has time to learn and grow and can surely become an even more powerful death over specialist in the future.

Fielding Positions & Skills

As a fielder, Yadav is agile and quick with his hands. He is quite mobile and has a strong throwing arm for precision. He is also quite calm under pressure and does not make mistakes. In the inner field, he is positioned in cover, mid-off and point. During death overs, he can be found at fine-leg or deep mid-wicket. He caught 2 balls during IPL 2025 in 6 matches, demonstrating his abilities not only as a bowler but as an effective fielder as well.
