Indian Cricket Team’s dashing pacer Umesh Yadav has been overlooked by the management for the first 2 Test matches. Umesh Yadav, the 35-year-old pacer has been a part of the Indian Cricket Team since 2011 but has been in & out of the team. He has played over 54 Test matches and has taken 165 wickets where he has taken 3 five-wicket hauls.

It would be interesting to see whether the speedster gets a chance in the remaining 2 Test Matches. The Men in Blue are one step closer to making it to the World Test Championship (WTC 2021-23). The management may rest one of Shami or Siraj to manage their workload ahead of the ODI Series against Australia.

Umesh Yadav an Asset

Umesh Yadav played a vital role in the 2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy where he had taken 17 wickets in 4 matches where he played the role of partnership-breaker for the team. The pacer in recent years has worked on his pace and is bowling immaculate line & length.

Umesh Yadav has been the go-to bowler for his captain where he has been pretty lethal with the old ball. In the recently concluded India vs Bangladesh Test Series, the veteran pacer had taken 7 wickets where the spinners were thriving on the tracks. At the same time, Umesh Yadav is a handy batter too where a knock of 30 odd runs can change the complexion of the match.
