Beyond Kohli's wicket: Prince Yadav reveals what he cherished most in LSG vs RCB
Prince Yadav explained that he cherished LSG's win over RCB more than getting the wicket of Virat Kohli during the match between both sides on Thursday, March 7.
When it comes to an international game or a match in the IPL, nothing is sweeter than getting the wicket of Virat Kohli in a must-win clash. Kohli had ensured that RCB got over the line in four chases, scoring 222 runs at an average of 111. But Prince Yadav changed everything with an incredible delivery at the Ekana.
LSG vs RCB: HIGHLIGHTS | SCORECARD
The Delhi pacer bowled a beauty to beat Kohli all ends up and send his off-stump for a walk as the RCB star was dismissed for a 2-ball duck. But despite this, Prince was more happy with seeing his team win. Speaking at the press conference after the game, the LSG pacer said that Kohli's wicket wouldn't have mattered had they lost the match.
“I felt good about Kohli's wicket, but what makes me happiest is that we won the match. If I had taken the wicket and we still lost, it wouldn’t have felt the same. The best feeling for me is when my team wins," said Prince.
USING VARIATIONS PERFECTLY
A feature of Prince's bowling in the IPL this season has been the way he has varied things up in different phases with the ball. With the new ball, 73.8% of his deliveries have consistently hit the good-length or back-of-a-length areas, the traditional control zones.
When it comes to the middle overs, the LSG pacer goes for a hard length more often than not. And at the death, he leans more on full length deliveries.
But Prince remained coy on the use of variations and more happy about the fact that he was able to get the wickets at the right time to script LSG's win.
"Whether it happens in different ways or one way, as a bowler you do feel good when you take a wicket. But like I said earlier, in that situation we could only win the match by getting that wicket, and that’s exactly what happened. So yes, it feels really good, absolutely,” said Prince.
The LSG pacer finished with figures of three for 33 in his four overs against RCB.
