In 2006, Sharad Padhye, then joint secretary at the Vidarbha Gymkhana, heard that there was a boy who bowled real quick. His club promptly drafted the young man for their next A-division match of Guzder League. Although he took a solitary wicket, his overall performance impressed Padhye.
More than a decade later, Umesh Yadav바카라s bowling chops continue to impress. In the just-Âconcluded two-Test series against BanÂgladesh, Yadav, an Usain Bolt fan, bowled with speed and venom. With 12 scalps, he emerged as the top wicket-taker along with Ishant Sharma and India became the first team to register four successive Test wins by an innings.
바카라Even in 2006, Umesh was bowling at 145-150 kmph, which was a rarity then,바카라 says Banerjee. Former India pacer Balwinder Sandhu adds, 바카라Earlier, Umesh was faster but wayward. Now he바카라s bowling good lines and lengths. He has reduced his pace to have more control over his bowling.바카라
So far, Yadav has taken 142 wickets in 45 Tests and 106 in 75 ODIs. There are many more in store, surely.
