#3 Umesh Yadav
The 30-year old right arm fast bowler has showed some fantastic bowling performances in the recent past. Yadav was not the part of the squad in the last T20I series which the team played against the Proteas in South Africa, but his performance in the IPL has got him a place in the team.
In 2018, Yadav has only played T20 matches in the IPL, where he took 20 wickets in 14 matches at an economy rate of 7.86 runs per over. He was one of the top-five wicket takers in IPL and also bowled brilliantly in the test match against Afghanistan, which proves his potential of bowling good spells in any format of the game.
Yadav is one of the key players of the Indian bowling attack, and the combination of his experience and current form will definitely help the team in winning matches.
