Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar said that it was a close-but-no-cigar situation for his team against Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2026 thriller which snapped the hosts’ six-match losing streak on Thursday, May 7.
At the post-match press conference, Patidar hailed Prince’s effort as game-changing, saying that he’s never really seen the seamer concede too many runs at any level.
“We’ve played a lot of domestic matches with Prince against Delhi. I’ve been watching him since the start. He has a lot of variations, he has pace, line and length, and swing with the new ball. Overall, he’s a proper fast bowler. One of his strengths is the way he trusts his skills. That’s commendable.
“And I’ve seen him for a long time. He’s given his team breakthroughs. And he’s an expert at that. Spot on. I’ve been watching him for a long time; I’ve never seen him give away runs. And even today, he bowled really well, especially the slowers that he tried. That was a game-changing spell for him”.
