Prince Yadav ruled out of final T20I with hamstring injury

India fast bowler Prince Yadav has been ruled out of the final T20 International against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring injury sustained during the second match of the series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed the injury ahead of the third T20I on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at Harare Sports Club, stating Yadav was unavailable for selection.

The 24-year-old seamer was forced to leave the field during Zimbabwe’s chase on Saturday, July 25. Bowling his second over, Yadav had just taken the wicket of Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza when he pulled up in his run-up for the next delivery, clutching the back of his left thigh. After receiving on-field treatment from the team physio, he was unable to continue and did not return to the field. Pace-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube completed the over.

Yadav’s injury occurred during a dominant performance by India, who had already secured the three-match series with an unassailable 2-0 lead. After posting a total of 219, India’s bowlers dismantled the Zimbabwe batting lineup, dismissing the hosts for 129 to win by 90 runs. Yadav finished with figures of two wickets for 10 runs from his 1.5 overs before his departure.
