Prince Yadav Bowled Out Jos Buttler: In the third T20 match against England at the Nottingham ground, Indian team’s young fast bowler Prince Yadav did a feat as soon as he stepped on the field, which perhaps even the English team’s star batsman Jos Buttler could not have imagined. After sitting on the bench in the first two matches of the England series, as soon as Prince got a chance in the playing eleven of the third match, he created a sensation by killing Jos Buttler, one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world, with his very first ball in the match.
The very first ball and Butler hit all four
In the sixth over of England’s innings, captain Shreyas Iyer handed over the responsibility of bowling the ball to young Prince Yadav. England’s ace batsman Jos Buttler was present at the crease. Prince Yadav started running and bowled an accurate fast yorker ball. Buttler was seen trying to bring his bat down to defend this tough yorker, but he looked completely helpless in front of the speed and precise line of the ball. The ball dodged his bat and hit his thumb directly and bounced off the stumps. Due to which Prince Yadav gave the Indian fans a chance to dance.

Shardul Thakur revealed the secret of Prince’s action
Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur, sitting in the commentary box during the match, gave an interesting technical reason behind this magical performance of Prince Yadav. Shardul revealed that Prince Yadav has a unique ‘X-factor’ in his bowling. Shardul Thakur told that the most special thing about Priyanka Yadav is his different and unique bowling action. When he comes to throw the ball, the ball disappears from his hand for a very small fraction of a second. At that moment the batsman is not able to see the ball from where it is being released. This is the reason why when he makes even slight variations in the pace or line of the ball, it becomes difficult for the batsman to pick up or read him.
Created a stir in the debut match, still had to sit out
Priyanka Yadav recently made his T20 International debut during the second T20 match on the Ireland tour. In his very first match, he bowled brilliantly and took 3 wickets for just 22 runs and proved his talent. Despite this, he could not get a place in the playing 11 in the first two T20 matches against England. But when he got a chance in Nottingham, he proved how much potential he had to perform at a big level.
