Happy Birthday Umesh Yadav: A look at his best spells in Tests and 2015 World Cup

Even though he got his first call-up for India in limited overs cricket in 2010, Umesh Yadav quickly developed himself into one of the best bowlers on the Test side. On this special occasion, let’s take a look at his top spells in Test cricket: 6 for 88 and 4 for 45 vs West Indies in 2018 Prior to their tour to Australia, India’s 2-0 whitewash against the West Indies in 2018 was made possible in large part by Umesh’s 10-wicket haul. 5 for 93 vs Australia in 2012 India lost that Test match by an innings and 37 runs against Australia, hence Yadav’s first five-wicket haul in Test cricket is not well remembered. If we look at his ODI career, Umesh Yadav’s bowling displays in the 2015 World Cup unquestionably occupy the front row.
