IPL 2016: 5 unsung heroes from the tournament so far

Rayadu Ambati — Rayudu is the second highest run-getter for Mumbai Indians this season

Umesh Yadav

The lanky Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler has been one of the key performers for the team this season as the KKR captain relies on him to bowl in the powerplay as well as at the death.

He repaid the faith of his captain with his performances with the ball as he has picked up crucial wickets and also checked the flow of runs at the death overs.

The KKR spinners get all the bouquets but it is someone like Umesh who should also be credited for his performance this year.

He has picked up 5 wickets in the 4 matches he has played and his economy rate of 6.83 is outstanding. He has often received brickbats for his wayward bowling in the past and it seems that he has worked on that.

Gautam Gambhir will surely want Umesh Yadav to continue his form in the rest of the tournament.
