After India’s 14-run victory, Prince revealed that he had used Abhishek Sharma ‘s bat to score his quick runs.
Abhishek praised Prince’s ability to score quick runs and said the fast bowler had the power to hit boundaries. As for the bat, well…you need power too,” Abhishek said. “I played with Abhi bhaiya’s bat in England too (Ireland),” Prince said, before Abhishek quipped, “he hit a six there.”
NEW DELHI: India fast bowler Prince Yadav made a valuable contribution with the bat in the third T20I against the West Indies in Indore. He added that fans would get to see more of Prince’s batting skills in the future. “I’ve seen his batting; if anyone hasn’t seen it, he’s famous in Delhi for ‘single phatti’. Single phatti means one-on-one matches. In that, you have to both bat and bowl. So he has that talent to hit sixes and fours.
We saw a bit of it today, and we’ll see more in future.
That took us to a commendable total of 223. India’s 14-run victory gave them a 2-1 lead in the five-match T20I series against the West Indies.
So, Abhi bhaiya gave me his bat earlier and said, ‘don’t embarrass the bat’. So, I kept its honour,” Prince told bcci.tv in a chat with Abhishek after the game. Even Prince coming and playing that cameo at the end, those were useful runs, I felt,” Shreyas said in the post-match presentation.
“Obviously, brother, it is great to contribute to the team, whether it’s with the ball, bat, or in the fielding. So, I am feeling good. India captain Shreyas Iyer also praised Prince for helping the team reach a strong total with his late cameo. “We steadied the ship in the middle order as well.
