IPL 2021: IPL is a gateway to make a comeback in white ball game, says Umesh yadav

Umesh yadav has stated recently that IPL can prove to be a gateway for him to get entry into white ball game. Umesh yadav who has not featured much in White ball cricket. He feels he is missing out on that front. Umesh Yadav who has been bought by the Delhi capitals for 1 crore rupees in the IPL auction held in February.

He expresses his desires to play for white ball cricket. He says his IPL performance will be key to direct entry. He said:

“I think it depends on my performance. If I do well in the IPL this year, I may be considered for the [white-ball] national side again. I feel the IPL will be really important for me if I have to play white-ball for India again, and so I am not looking too far ahead at the moment. You will be noticed only if you do well in it, after which it will be decided whether you fit in the World Cup side or not.”

He further added:

“So my only goal now is to do well in the IPL. You also need to do better than the current crop of fast bowlers in the national side if you have to enter the limited-overs teams.”

Umesh yadav who has featured in 48 tests so far in most of the games he played at home. Umesh yadav is happy that he has not had any major in his career, he can easily play for next two three years without any injuries.

“As far as the rest of my career is concerned, thank god that relatively I haven’t had that many injuries. And that is satisfying as a fast bowler, because once a fast bowler starts getting injured regularly, he tends to start struggling, which ultimately reduces his [playing] life. After an injury, there is the recovery, and then you need rehab, which consumes a lot of time, which you can never get back. But I have lost very little time to injury periods, which has kind of helped me lengthen my career. So I haven’t had to compromise a lot on my pace as well,” said Umesh.

“I am 33 now and I know that I can mostly pull my body for another two or three years, and there will be some youngsters who will be arriving [to play]. I feel this is just healthy, because it ultimately ends up benefiting the team. When you have five or six fast bowlers on a tour of four or five Tests, you can play each one of them for two games to help reduce their stress and workload, so it helps that pack [of fast bowlers] play for longer. There is support for every bowler, everyone looks to give their best, and so whoever keeps doing the best keeps getting chances,” he added.

He might perform well in the IPL but it would be difficult for him to get featured in the playing 11. As there are already many options in the pacer department such as jasprit bumrah, ishan sharma and other options such as mohammed siraj, navdeep saini, shardul thakur.

Umesh yadav has attributed his better line and length to a lot of practise in the home conditions and he feels that he can use his skills in overseas conditions.

“I just think that I have developed the required line and length while keeping on playing in Asia. The more you play in particular conditions, the more your body starts adapting to it. I haven’t done a lot different [while playing in India]; all bowlers know that the new ball swings whereas the old one reverses in India, which is what I have also focused on. It is just that I started bowling a particular line and length here as compared to overseas. Playing a lot in Asia has helped me gain the required experience and develop that mindset of bowling well here,” said Umesh

The IPL is going to start on 9 April. First match of IPL will be played between Chennai super kings and Royal challengers Bangalore.
