5 Indian players who have blossomed under the Dravid-Kumble partnership

#1 Jayant Yadav

Yadav is handy with both bat and ball

Yadav made the headlines recently when he became the first Indian to score a century batting at number 9. He has shown great temperament with the bat with solid knocks against the Englishmen in the ongoing series. His control and variation of pace makes him a great asset as a spinner in sub-continental conditions and he looks set to accomplish a lot more in the future.

Kumble has backed the talented 26-year-old allrounder over other experienced spinners, and this backing from a world-class leg-spinner will surely boost the offie’s confidence. He was also backed to bowl important overs in the IPL by Rahul Dravid, and he has blossomed under his guidance. Yadav has often claimed that meeting with Dravid during his India A stint inspired him greatly.

Jayant Yadav is ear-marked for great success and if his debut series is any indication, he will only go on to scale greater heights.
