WATCH: Umesh Yadav Strikes Yet Again The Powerplay; Juggles One To Dismiss Padikkal
KKR vs RR IPL 2022: Umesh Yadav has been a bowling force to reckon with in this season of the IPL, especially in the powerplays. After playing just a match each in IPL 2020 and IPL 2021, Kolkata Knight Riders have used Umesh as their strike bowler upfront, and the bowler has produced results. In the match against Rajasthan Royals, Umesh yet again struck in his first over as he provided the opening wicket in the form of Devdutt Padikkal.
With only 3 wins in 9 matches, KKR are at a point where they can't afford to lose another match in the tournament. After opting to field first against RR, Knight Riders had the first & foremost task, to dismiss Royals' openers and expose the thin batting.
