[WATCH]- IRE vs IND: Prince Yadav Takes Maiden Wicket in Debut T20I

Debutant Prince Yadav made an early impact by taking his maiden T20I wicket in the ongoing second T20I between India and Ireland in Belfast on Sunday, June 28. India won the toss and chose to bowl first. Prince was introduced into the attack in the sixth over.

He began well, conceding only six runs in his first over. The pacer returned in the eighth over and picked up his first T20I wicket on the third delivery, dismissing Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker. He bowled a good length delivery that gave the batter little room outside off stump.

Tucker attempted to play a boundary shot on the leg side but got an outside edge, which flew to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, who completed the catch safely. The Irish captain, who scored a half-century in the previous match, was dismissed for just 15 runs off 18 balls in this game.

Prince Yadav Earns India Call-Up After Strong Domestic and IPL Form

Prince Yadav made his ODI debut against Afghanistan and his T20I debut against Ireland. The young pacer has also been selected in India’s T20I squad for the upcoming England tour, where India will play five T20Is after the Ireland series.

Prince earned his national call-up in both formats following an impressive Indian Premier League season and consistent performances in domestic cricket. Representing Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, he took 16 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 28.68 and an economy rate of 8.82.

In the 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, India’s top domestic 50-over tournament, he finished as Delhi’s leading wicket-taker. The fast bowler picked up 18 wickets in eight matches at an average of 19.27 with an economy rate of 5.16. So far, he has taken 32 wickets in 16 List A matches and 38 wickets in 35 T20 games.
