Indian pacer Umesh Yadav has joined the Middlesex Cricket Club for the remainder of the County Cricket Championship 2022. The pacer had a brilliant start to his campaign with the County team in his first game against Worcestershire.
He got his maiden wicket for the Middlesex team in the first innings of the game against Worcestershire. Yadav fired a full delivery onto the stumps to Taylor Cornall in the 20th over of the innings, which took his stumps and he was clean bowled. A video of Yadav's first wicket has surfaced on the internet.
Middlesex Cricket uploaded the video on their official Twitter handle. "YADAV SENDS STUMPS FLYING. Take a look at @y_umesh's first wicket in a Middlesex shirt. More of the same to come throughout the summer," read the caption of the tweet.
