Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Prince Yadav said he is learning from a veteran fast bowler like Mohammed Shami and he is trying to make the most of sharing the dressing room with the experienced pacer. Yadav got the big wicket of Virat Kohli when LSG were defending a DLS score of 213 runs on Thursday.

Prince eventually returned with impressive figures of 3-33 in his quota of four overs and also accounted for Devdutt Padikkal and out-of-form Jitesh Sharma.

Yadav has scalped 16 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 18.68 and economy rate of 8.08 in the ongoing IPL 2026.

“We keep talking to him. In fact, Mohammed Shami is also there. We keep talking about positive things and how to deliver well,” Prince said during the post-match press conference.

“I have learnt a lot from him. But the best thing about him is that whenever a bowler is bowling, he stands at mid-on or mid-off.

“If an experienced bowler stands with you, it gives you a different level of confidence.”

Meanwhile, RCB needed 20 runs off the last over when Rishabh Pant decided to back Digvesh Singh Rathi ahead of Shahbaz Ahmed. Prince said the team never doubted Rathi’s ability under pressure.

“As you saw, Rathi did well last year, and he is doing well this year as well. He is a good bowler,” Prince said.

“We never had any doubt that he would do well. He delivered well for us.”

The fast bowler from Delhi said the atmosphere of the dressing room was good even when results weren’t going their way.

“The atmosphere in the dressing room was good earlier as well, and it is good now as well. We keep losing and winning in cricket, but our team is putting in a lot of effort,” he said.

Lucknow Super Giants will next take on Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Sunday.
