IPL 2018, RCB vs KXIP: Hits and Misses

#2 Hit: Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav bowled a fiery over where he picked up 3 wickets and put KXIP under pressure

After a very good game against Kolkata Knight Riders, where he took 2 wickets for 27 runs, he brought RCB back in the game after Sunil Narine’s blistering start. Given the new ball in this game, Yadav bowled a fiery spell up front.

He was hit for a couple of fours in his first over, but he came back brilliantly. In his second over, he turned the game on its head as he took 3 big wickets.

On the first ball, Quinton de Kock took a superb catch as Yadav got his first wicket. The Vidarbha pacer then dismissed Aaron Finch, LBW for a golden duck. And off the final ball, Yuvraj Singh was cleaned bowled, as Punjab went from 32/0 to 36/3 in the space of one over.

Umesh Yadav’s pace troubled the batsmen, and was spot on with his line and length. In his first spell, he had figures of 3/15 with 12 dot balls. He came back to bowl his final over in the 17th over, and finished off the day well and ended with figures of 3/23.
