Umesh Yadav joined the Delhi camp in 2009, but he didn’t get a single game till 2010. His first two seasons for DD were forgettable. He only picked up 8 wickets in his first two seasons and was quite expensive and was clearly struggling to hit the right line and lengths.

He showed signs of improvement in his next two seasons, picking 19 and 16 wickets respectively.

What’s baffling is that Delhi retained him when he didn’t bowl well, but as soon as he started to improve, they decided against retaining him.

He went on to play for a couple more franchises and even had his best year in 2018 with RCB, picking up 20 wickets in 14 games.
