Virat Kohli was left stunned by a sensational delivery from Prince Yadav which got him bowled for a duck during RCB’s recent clash against LSG at Lucknow in IPL 2026. The wicket immediately became one of the biggest talking points from the contest.
While LSG have struggled for consistency this season, they finally ended their long losing streak with an important home win over RCB on Thursday. Prince Yadav emerged as one of the franchise’s biggest positives, with his fiery pace and stunning dismissal of Virat Kohli further highlighting his rapid rise this season.
Virat Kohli Left Impressed By Prince Yadav’s Dream Delivery
The wicket gained even more attention after Bharat Arun, LSG’s bowling coach, revealed in an interview that Kohli personally asked about the delivery after the game. The RCB veteran appeared surprised by the movement and wanted to understand how the young pacer produced such a sharp incoming ball.
“We had a chat with Kohli, and Kohli said, ‘how did he bowl that ball?’ because it is not very common,” Bharat Arun said.
“Mostly for out-swing bowlers it swings in the air, after pitching the ball tends to come in because of the position of the seam or how it lands. I don’t think any bowler can bowl it at will, but if you are consistently working on your swing, it can be possible, and it was a dream ball,” LSG’s bowling coach added.

Bharat Arun’s comments highlighted just how special the delivery really was. Virat Kohli has faced elite fast bowlers throughout his career, yet Prince Yadav not only managed to completely deceive him on the field but made him ask how did the bowler manage to pull off such a dream ball.
Prince Yadav Emerging As LSG’s Bright Pace Prospect In IPL 2026
Despite LSG’s poor and disappointing IPL 2026 season, Prince Yadav has impressed consistently with 16 wickets at an average of 18.68, making him the second-highest wicket-taker so far in the tournament. His ability to strike with both the new ball and during the later phases has stood out.
The Virat Kohli dismissal became even more significant because the RCB batter is regarded as one of the greatest chase players in IPL history. Before this match, Kohli had not registered a duck during an IPL run chase for nine years.
Prince’s dream delivery completely outfoxed RCB's one of the key to success since last year and instantly became a memorable moment in his young career. For a fast bowler still establishing himself, dismissing Kohli in such fashion is something he is unlikely to forget anytime soon.

Bharat Arun also praised the overall pace resources within the LSG squad, including Prince Yadav and Mayank Yadav. With his pace, wicket-taking ability, and growing maturity, Bharat Arun believes Prince Yadav is now looking increasingly ready to play for India.
The former India bowling coach further revealed that LSG’s development camps will continue beyond the IPL season through year-round skill camps aimed at improving young bowlers’ consistency, control, and overall understanding of the game.
