The Indian Premier is the ultimate stage where talent meets opportunities. It changes the lives of several budding cricketers and makes them household names. Another addition to this list will be of fast bowler Prithvi Raj Yarra.
The left-arm seamer from Andhra Pradesh will be replacing Bhuvneshwar Kumar for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The talent pace bowler Prithvi Raj Yarra landed in UAE as a net bowler for SRH. After Bhuvneshwar was ruled out of IPL 2020, Yarra was included in the SRH squad.
