Umesh Yadav - Bowling Style

Bowling Style

Writing for ESPNcricinfo in January 2012, Sidharth Monga commented that

Yadav is fit, strong, quick, and gets the ball to swing late. More importantly, he attacks the stumps, and doesn't wait for edges. Eleven of his 21 Test wickets have been bowled. Another has been lbw. Five matches is a short career for a bigger statistical analysis, but it is worth mentioning that he takes a wicket every 39.2 balls. It is not at large odds with his overall first-class strike-rate of 46.8. Attacking the stumps also leaves less control on the run flow, which shows in his economy rate of 4.24 in Tests.

Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath said he was impressed with Indian pace sensation Umesh Yadav’s performance in the first Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). In an interview to MiD Day, McGrath said

He was quite impressive (at the MCG). He bowls at good pace. He seems to have a great attitude and most importantly, he's a wicket-taking bowler. Perhaps, the direction and control are not there quite yet, but it's not far away.

He's got that raw talent, good pace and can generate good bounce. He's got a lot going for him at the moment. He definitely impressed me a lot down at Melbourne. I look forward to seeing him bowl again.
