Prince Yadav hits three fours batting at number 10
Prince Yadav joined an exclusive list of Indian batters with three boundaries from number 10 or 11.
Prince Yadav became only the third Indian batter at number 10 or 11 to hit three boundaries in a T20 International. He struck three fours off Shamar Joseph in the final over as India closed at 223 against West Indies in the third T20I in Indore on Sunday.
Fifteen years had passed since Ravichandran Ashwin last managed the feat. S Sreesanth remains the only other Indian with more from those positions, hitting four fours against New Zealand in 2007.
India won by 14 runs and took a 2-1 series lead. Prince came in for Kuldeep Yadav so the side could pack an extra seamer on the small ground.

The cameo matters because it shows how India are now packing the lower order with specialist bowlers who can still clear the rope. That changes selection math on flat pitches where every extra over of pace counts.
