When it comes to an international game or an IPL match, there is nothing sweeter than getting the wicket of Virat Kohli in a must-win clash. Kohli ensured that RCB got over the line in four chases, scoring 222 runs at an average of 111. But Prince Yadav changed everything with incredible delivery in Ekana.
LSG vs RCB: MAIN | SCORECARD
The Delhi pacer bowled a beauty to beat Kohli and send his stumps for a walk as the RCB star was dismissed for a 2-ball duck. But even so, the prince was more satisfied to see his team win. In the post-match press conference, the LSG pacer said that Kohli’s wicket would not matter if they lost the match.
“I felt good about Kohli’s wicket, but I am most happy that we won the match. If I had taken the wicket and we still lost, it would not have been the same. The best feeling for me is when my team wins,” Prince said.
MAKE PERFECT USE OF VARIATION
The hallmark of Prince’s bowling in the IPL this season has been the way he has changed things at different phases with the ball. With the new ball, 73.8% of his deliveries consistently hit good length or back of length areas, the traditional control zone.
When it comes to the middle overs, the LSG pacer goes for a hard length more often than not. And he relies more on full-length deliveries at the death.
But Prince remained coy in his use of variations, rejoicing more in the fact that he was able to get wickets at the right time to script a win for LSG.
“Whether it happens in different ways or one way, as a bowler you feel good when you take a wicket. But like I said before, in that situation we could have won the game just by getting a wicket and that’s exactly what happened. So yeah, it feels really good, absolutely,” Prince said.
The LSG stimulator ended with the number three for 33 in his four overs against RCB.
