India suffered an injury scare during the second T20I against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club after young pacer Prince Yadav walked off the field with a suspected hamstring injury. The incident occurred during the seventh over of Zimbabwe’s run chase, raising concerns for the visitors despite their commanding position in the match.
Prince had already made an impact with the ball in the series after claiming two wickets in the opening T20I. In the second match, he looked set to continue his spell before discomfort forced him to stop midway through the over.
As the 24-year-old began his run-up for the third delivery of his over, he suddenly clutched the back of his left leg and immediately signaled that he could not continue. The pain was evident on the fast bowler’s face as India’s medical staff rushed onto the field to assess the situation.

With India aiming to seal the three-match series, the extent of Prince Yadav’s injury will be closely monitored, as the team hopes the setback is not serious enough to rule him out of the remaining fixtures.
