Prince played a decisive role in LSG\u2019s successful defence of DLS target 213 runs in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest, finishing with figures of 3-33 and producing a stunning delivery to dismiss Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think he is going to make his debut soon. That guy is a special talent, Prince. The way he runs in, his run-up itself tells you that he is in there for a fight. He bowls a heavy ball, and most of his deliveries hit the stumps. That\u2019s his speciality,\u201d Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThat ball (to get Kohli) was very, very special. The seam stayed up. This is a huge wicket. It\u2019s Virat Kohli. Prince Yadav, who too comes from Delhi, plays for Delhi, gets his Delhi team-mate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Prince\u2019s spell helped put RCB on the back foot early after they lost both openers cheaply in pursuit of a daunting 210-run target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rayudu also backed the youngster to succeed across all formats, highlighting his fitness, rhythm and consistency as major strengths.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think he\u2019ll be a treat to stand in the slips. Seriously, to watch this guy bowl is unbelievable. It'll be a total pleasure to stand in first or second slip to him. He is a potential 50-over bowler as well. I think he\u2019s an all-format bowler, the way he\u2019s looking right now,\u201d Rayudu said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former Indian batter further praised Prince\u2019s ability to maintain pressure throughout his spells.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAlso, because he\u2019s so fit, he\u2019s so agile, and his action is so clean; he has that consistency which most of the bowlers don\u2019t have. A lot of bowlers bowl one or two good balls in an over. This guy bowls about four to five. That\u2019s his strength, I feel,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

RCB fought back through skipper Rajat Patidar, who blasted 61 off 31 balls, and Tim David, who hammered 40 off 17 deliveries, but timely wickets from Prince and Shahbaz Ahmed helped LSG close out a tense victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
