Prince Yadav IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants’ new-ball revelation The 2025 Indian Premier League introduced a fresh face in the Lucknow Super Giants camp—Prince Yadav, whose first season may have lasted only six matches yet quickly became a talking point among scouts and fantasy managers alike. Tasked with the new ball on batting-friendly tracks, the 21-year-old seamer sent down 137 deliveries across six outings and walked away with three crucial breakthroughs. His best figures read 1 for 45 against Delhi, but it was the manner of those strikes—early in the powerplay—that underlined his value. Yadav’s economy of 9.85 runs per over sits within the acceptable bracket for a bowler operating in the high-risk first six overs, while a strike-rate of 45.7 balls per wicket shows he is never far from a game-changing moment. Although the elusive three-fers and five-fers remain unchecked on his rookie card, the fact that he already has three wickets from only six appearances hints at bigger hauls once he masters the slower balls and yorkers that define death-over success. With Lucknow’s think-tank known for fast-tracking raw quicks—think Mohsin Khan and Yash Thakur—Prince Yadav’s trajectory looks promising. Keep an eye on the 2026 mega-auction chatter; franchises searching for an Indian pacer with swing, pace and a fearless mindset may find their answer in this LSG breakout star.

David Warner IPL career – 6,565 runs at 139 strike-rate across 15 seasons Australian opener David Warner has turned the IPL into his personal highlight reel, amassing 6,565 runs from 4,697 balls since his 2009 debut with Delhi. The left-hander has blasted 663 fours and 236 sixes, translating to a boundary every 4.9 balls. Warner has reached fifty 62 times and gone past three figures on four occasions, his highest an unbeaten 126. After early seasons with Delhi Capitals, Warner became the heartbeat of Sunrisers Hyderabad, captaining the side to the 2016 title with 848 runs that year alone. He returned to Delhi Capitals in 2022 and, still going strong in 2024, has now faced 184 innings for two franchises while maintaining the same explosive intent. A solitary over with the ball is the only deviation from his batting master-class, underlining why Warner is remembered as one of the most feared IPL openers ever.
