Analysing the averages of India's bowling attack 

#4 Umesh Yadav

Yadav will be key to India's success

The fastest of the lot, Umesh Yadav will have a role to play in overseas conditions with both the new and the old ball.

As has been the case with Jadeja, the home season has had a positive influence on Yadav's bowling, who has become a lot more consistent, leading to him taking more wickets.

At home, he averages 31.53 with 58 wickets in 21 matches but away, that averages rises to 42.09, with 41 wickets in 15 matches.

While these numbers do show that there is a big difference in his bowling home and away, there is scope to remain hopeful, since he was the highest wicket-taker for India in the 2015 World Cup, taking 18 scalps.

The key then was his length. Early on, he pitched it full, but wasn't afraid to use the short delivery later in the innings.

His ability to consistently get the first quality right would be critical to India's performance abroad.
