'Prince Yadav Will Make His India Debut Soon': Rayudu

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes Prince Yadav is not far away from making his international debut after the young pacer produced another impressive spell in Lucknow Super Giants thrilling nine-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Prince played a decisive role in LSGs 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. I 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. Thats his speciality, Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo. That ball (to get Kohli) was very, very special. The seam stayed up. This is a huge wicket. Its Virat Kohli. Prince Yadav, who too comes from Delhi, plays for Delhi, gets his Delhi team-mate, he added. Princes spell helped put RCB on the back foot early after they lost both openers cheaply in pursuit of a daunting 210-run target. Rayudu also backed the youngster to succeed across all formats, highlighting his fitness, rhythm and consistency as major strengths. I think hell 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 hes an all-format bowler, the way hes looking right now, Rayudu said. The former Indian batter further praised Princes ability to maintain pressure throughout his spells. Also, because hes so fit, hes so agile, and his action is so clean; he has that consistency which most of the bowlers dont have. A lot of bowlers bowl one or two good balls in an over. This guy bowls about four to five. Thats his strength, I feel, he added. The former Indian batter further praised Princes ability to maintain pressure throughout his spells.
