Umesh Yadav Reveals How India Can Do Well In WTC Final

 


Indian fast bowler, Umesh Yadav has recently shared how they could do well in the much-anticipated World Test Championship final in Southampton against New Zealand. While the inaugural edition’s final will be played at Lord’s, Yadav shared that they would try to get the wicket of New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson as early as possible to get momentum in India’s favour as well.

Umesh Yadav has so far played 48 Tests for India but he is yet to become a regular face in the playing XI. With young pacer like Mohammed Siraj making their mark on the international stage, the competition has become tougher too to cement the place in the playing eleven for Yadav.

During a recent chat with The Telegraph, “We do have a fair idea about Kane’s game, though I don’t think he has too many weaknesses. Of course, any quality batsman can fall to a good delivery, so as a fast bowler, you should look to stick to your strong points and bowl more of those balls which can fetch you wickets.”

He further added, “And yeah, we need to get Kane out as early as possible as that’ll surely benefit the team. New Zealand is a strong side, they bat deep and their pacers are quite experienced and lethal. So it will be a tough game. English conditions are also a big challenge for us and so are playing against a team like New Zealand.”

It is also noteworthy that, India and New Zealand have never played a Test match at a neutral venue. India didn’t have a great record against New Zealand away from home as they has struggled in New Zealand, winning only five Tests, whereas New Zealand has 10 wins in their name, with 10 Tests ending in draws as well.

Meanwhile, India will take on England in a five-match Test series after the most-important WTC final as well.

Former KKR Spinner KC Kariappa applauds Gautam Gambhir

  KC Kariappa, the little known spinner from Bengaluru made headlines in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 auctions after KKR bought him on the back of some fine performance in a zonal T20 league. He was 21-year old then. While his IPL career didn’t take off, he shared his experiences recently alongside his debut under the captain Gautam Gambhir and recalled the memories as well. “Gambhir was a very good captain. He was a little strict in terms of bowling discipline, and effort on the field was something he wouldn’t compromise,” Cariappa told Sportskeeda. “Outside the field, he didn’t bother you. On the field, you had to give your 100% and that’s what I loved.” Notably, Cariappa’s maiden wicket was none other than the legend AB de Villiers. However, later was replaced by Sunil Narine who soon came in the limelight with his stunning bowling. However, he revealed that he didn’t get too many chances in the IPL even when he had played for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). H...

  England captain Joe Root has backed his under-performing teammates and opened up on multiple factors behind it as well. He added that continuity is a hard thing to maintain amid the tough time of COVID-19 and bio-bubble also. However, England’s Test squad has always been criticized for their recent performances on several occasions. Earlier, England used to create trouble against any opposition but now they have lost the touch as well. And, the lack of continuity is the main reason behind it. Moreover, their batting unit has become inconsistent with their performance and Joe Root said that it’s something that is happening because of the pandemic in the world and praises the work ethics of his teammates amid this crunch time as well. “You see the guys put in the work time and time again. One thing you can never question about anyone in this team is their work ethic. I think everyone throws everything into their practice and does everything they can to make themselves better,...

And, on Thursday evening, he scored an unbeaten 101 to help RCB register a registering 10-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium. "It's been special. I could only wait my turn.

I couldn't do that but was keen to contribute to the team's win," Padikkal said at the post-match presentation. "The ball was coming on really well and we got a good start. When you get into a partnership like that, it helps as runs come from both ends." While chasing 178, Devdutt Padikkal and the...
