It was then when Kohli introduced Umesh Yadav in the attack.
On his very second ball, Yadav cleaned up Narine and in the next over he sent Robin Uthappa back to the pavilion. With some short and fast stuff, Yadav bought RCB right back in the game.
The introduction of the former KKR pacer in the bowling attack at just the right time was indeed a masterstroke by captain Kohli.
