The emergence of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the past couple of years has sidelined him from the team

The Vidharbha-speedster is finding a tough time in the Indian colors. It has become exceedingly difficult for Umesh Yadav to break into that XI in any of the formats.

Being relied upon as India's go-to bowler in the home season of 2016-17, Yadav now sees himself as the fourth seamer in the attack. The emergence of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the past couple of years has sidelined him from the team.

Though he was roped in as the frontline seamer for the ODI and the T20I series against England after Bumrah encountered a thumb injury.

But Yadav failed to leave an imprint on the minds of the selectors and the team management with his performances with the ball.

His inconsistency with the ball has haunted his chances in the side and continues to give him nightmares of a possible exclusion from India's World Cup plans.
