It was the fine bowling of their young paceman Prince Yadav who made the headlines for Lucknow Super Giants in their match against RCB at the Ekana Stadium. Prince had to turn around after an earlier misfield at the boundary to perform a good catch in the deep backward area to dismiss RCB's top batsman, Jacob Bethell, instantly.

The athletic jump (he must sprint to his left side and make a clean take) brought out the “stay in their seats and cheer” brigade for the LSG fans. This was preceded by Prince bowling another heavy blow with a peach of an inswinger to Virat Kohli for a golden duck.

Prince bowled a hat trick to defend LSG's score in the match. Bat in hand and tied to the No. 2, his all-around performances have been met with acceptance among the fans and rival experts. The catch has been viral, with fans calling him the unsung hero of the match.
