The Team members of the Indian side seem to be believing in divine intervention at the moment. First, it was Virat Kohli who went to the Mahakaleshwar temple first. After that Kohli scored 186 against Australia in the fourth Test at Ahmedabad. This was his 28th Test century in Test cricket. Shortly after Kohli’s and Anushka Sharma’s visit, it was KL Rahul who was next on the list.
Rahul had gone to visit the temple after he wedded Athiya Shetty. Rahul also changed his streak of form albeit in ODI cricket. In the first ODI against Australia. When India were 39-4 he scored a game-changing unbeaten 75 to steer India home. The latest to join the list is Umesh Yadav. The Indian pacer has also visited the temple. Umesh had recently lost his father. The India pacer has been a match-winner for the country. The 35-year-old’s Test record has been outstanding, and he has been particularly menacing at home.
Umesh Yadav has picked up 168 wickets in Tests for India
Umesh has been an asset to India. In 56 Test matches, he has picked up 168 wickets at a strike rate of 52. He has an economic rate of 3.52. He continues to be part of the fast-bowling quartet in Tests along with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and for a long time Ishant Sharma. Umesh can bowl long spells at a fearsome pace with the ability to reverse swing the ball even in Indian conditions.
Umesh is also a handy batter in Tests for India. He can hit lusty blows as he has got strong forearms. The pacer has made 5132 runs in Tests with a batting average of 30.54. He has been an unsung hero for the national side. There have been times in the past when he was not able to get his due. This was due to the team combination. Bharath Arun the former India bowling coach had mentioned this in an interview with Cricbuzz.
India had won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1 on home soil. Umesh played the third Test at Indore and the fourth Test at Ahmedabad. India have qualified for the Test Championship final that will be played at the Oval in England between June 7 to 11 against Australia.
