Lucknow Super Giants pacer Prince Yadav, who was picked after a convincing show in the DPL, has now claimed that not Rishabh Pant or Zaheer Khan but former South African legend Dale Steyn is his biggest inspiration for featuring in international cricket.
23-year-old Delhi pacer Prince Yadav was picked by the Lucknow Super Giants for the IPL 2025 season after he had made a promising start to the Delhi Premier League. His performance looked convincing with the Delhi team before being recognized by the Rishabh Pant-led side.
"Two or three franchises had called me for trials, but LSG picked me. My trials went well almost everywhere, but the support I got from LSG was immense. I had been a net bowler with them earlier, and that helped me a lot," claimed Yadav.
