Umesh Yadav Has Been Outstanding For KKR Taking Early Wickets: David Hussey
“He’s probably been the best buy in the IPL. He has been outstanding upfront taking early wickets. He and [Bharat] Arun work very well together, they have worked together for 5-6 years now. They have got a good respectful relationship.
“One thing I will say about Umesh is that he works extremely hard on the track to be prepared for each game. In his words, he says he feels no pressure because he’s got a lot of support from all the background staff and full credit goes to Arun for being one of the better people and one of the better bowling coaches going around,” Hussey was quoted as saying in KKR’s official website.
Umesh is currently leading the Purple Cap list with 8 wickets and has an astonishing economy rate of 4.9 runs per over. Along with him, Tim Southee is placed sixth in the table with five wickets to his name.
Together they have accounted for 13 wickets for KKR so far in IPL 2022. KKR will next take on Mumbai Indians in Pune on April 6.
