He set the batter with an outswinger on the previous delivery to draw the batter forward. On the ball to dismiss the veteran, the pacer’s delivery seemed to go through the gate and uprooted the off-stump.

Speaking at the press conference after the end of their nervy nine-run victory, the youngster revealed an interesting story. He commented on how the RCB superstar himself had advised him during the reverse fixture to keep hitting the right length whenever he gets assistance in the surface.

“That was exactly the plan. In fact, after the last match, I was speaking with Virat Bhaiya (my elder brother), and he himself told me this.

That is exactly what I did, and I got the result in the form of a wicket.” Prince said in the press conference.

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.” The Delhi pacer added.
