The original prince...

He was famous for his riches. An Indian cricketer, his invention changed cricket from being a predominantly one-side game.

The prince amongst batsmen. Who was he and what did he invent? What else is famous and currently named after him?

Ranjitsinghji, and he invented the leg glance. The Ranji Trophy is named after him.

My guess for the cricketer would be Ranjitsinghji. Dunno the invention, but the other famous thing named after him = Ranji Trophy.

Ranjitsinghji -- inventor of the leg glance -- till then play was mostly off-side. Ranji trophy is after his name...

Most got it right!
