IPL turns fiery! Prince Yadav vs Tristan Stubbs faceoff goes viral in LSG vs DC - Watch

NEW DELHI: A fiery on-field moment on Wednesday grabbed attention during the IPL clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals in Lucknow, as a heated exchange between Prince Yadav and Tristan Stubbs went viral.

The incident took place in the fifth over when Prince Yadav bowled a fuller delivery outside off, which Stubbs defended solidly. What followed was an intense stare-down, with the young pacer walking down the pitch and locking eyes with the batter.





Stubbs didn’t back down either, responding with equal aggression as tensions briefly flared in the middle. The moment quickly caught fire on social media, adding spice to an already high-pressure game.

Watch:




Earlier in the match, Delhi Capitals’ bowlers put on a clinical display to restrict LSG to 141, which Delhi chased down in 17.1 overs. Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan led the charge with three wickets each, while Mukesh Kumar set the tone early with a disciplined spell.

LSG’s gamble to promote skipper Rishabh Pant to open didn’t pay off, as he was run out in an unlucky moment early on. Axar Patel then removed Aiden Markram, while Natarajan and Ngidi struck at regular intervals to derail the innings.

Mitchell Marsh tried to steady things with a gritty 35, but lacked support as wickets kept falling. Kuldeep Yadav also chipped in with key breakthroughs, including the dismissal of debutant Mukul Choudhary.

Despite a late effort from Abdul Samad, who scored 36, LSG couldn’t build momentum and were bowled out below par.

With the ball doing most of the talking early on, it was the brief but fiery Yadav-Stubbs faceoff that added an extra edge to an already intense contest.
