'World Cup Dream Not Far From Reality For Prince Yadav': Pujara

By IANS News May 08, 2026 • 11:36 AM View: 238

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes that fast bowler Prince Yadav is not very far from realising his World Cup dream after the youngster played a key role in Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) thrilling nine-run win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Prince delivered a match-winning spell under pressure as LSG defended 209/3 in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest. The pacer finished with figures of 3-33, including the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Jitesh Sharma, helping LSG regain control after RCB threatened to chase down the target.

Pujara said Prince's performances over the last two seasons show he has both the talent and temperament to aim for bigger honours with India.
