3 Lucknow Super Giants players who might be benched in IPL 2026

2. Prince Yadav

Prince Yadav was signed after performances in the Delhi Premier League led to him becoming a regular feature for the Delhi white-ball teams. Learning his trade bowling with the tennis ball, Prince has developed into an accurate yorker specialist. Making his debut for LSG last season, his three wickets in the season came from yorkers, including that of the dangerous Travis Head.

With the addition of Mohammed Shami and with Mohsin Khan slated to return for Lucknow, it might be difficult for Prince to find gametime for LSG. Also in their ranks are Avesh Khan and the exciting Mayank Yadav, who stand above Prince in the pecking order.
