Star Indian pacer Umesh Yadav is a part of Team India’s playing XI of the ongoing third of the four-match Test series against Australia. Both teams are playing this match at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Notably, the veteran pacer Umesh has been called to the playing XI in place of another senior pacer Mohammed Shami.
Although India have had a very thin outing in the first innings as they got all out only on the score of 109 runs. But it was lower-order batter Umesh Yadav who attracted the headlines for his quick cameo of 17 runs including two sixes and a boundary to his name. Interestingly, the 35-year-old has also surpassed the former Indian greats Ravi Shastri and Yuvraj Singh in terms of hitting sixes in Test cricket.
Apart from that, Umesh has also equaled former Indian skipper and batting superstar, Virat Kohli’s 24 sixes in red-ball cricket. This amazing fact also gave a chance to the Indian cricket fans a to come up with some hilarious and funny tweets on the micro-blogging site Twitter; in the aftermath of Umesh Yadav’s knock.
