Rohit Sharma: Umesh Bowled Really Well In IPL, Gives Us The Option To Bowl With Him Upfront
India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday revealed that getting senior pacer Umesh Yadav into the T20I squad for the series against Australia will give his side the option to start the bowling with him. Umesh was earlier confirmed as Mohammed Shami's replacement due to the latter testing Covid-19 positive, thereby ruling him out of the series starting from Tuesday.
Umesh last played a T20I match for India in February 2019, and earned a recall in the shortest format of the game after almost two and a half years based on his good IPL showing for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022, becoming an impactful presence with the new ball.
