Five players who have improved under Virat Kohli

#4 Umesh Yadav

Is there a more improved bowler in world cricket than Umesh Yadav?

When Umesh Yadav arrived on the scene, he was an exciting fast bowler who thrived on pure pace. He was wayward but enjoyed bowling on bouncy Australian pitches. But just like every other out and out fast bowler, Yadav did not have much else in his armoury and failed to maintain his place in the side.

But Kohli's preference for sheer pace meant the 29-year-old received another opportunity and he shone, like never before. He regained rhythm, added variations to his repertoire and became a completely different bowler. He is undoubtedly India's no.1 bowler in Tests at the moment.

He has 45 wickets in 21 Tests under Kohli while in ODIs he has 25 in 15 matches at 24.40 against 35.41 under Dhoni.
