Prithvi Raj Yarra had only played two matches in IPL. Prithvi Raj Yarra debuted against Sunriers Hyderabad in the IPL 2019 at Hyderabad, where he took the only wicket of David Warner in the match. Prithvi Raj Yarra was later released by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
The 22-year-old left-arm pacer has picked 39 wickets in 11 first-class matches at an average of 21.51. In 11 List-A, the youngster has sent back 15 batsmen to the pavilion and looks an exciting prospect going ahead in the season.
