10 Current cricketers who are not made for T20 cricket

7. Umesh Yadav

Ever since Umesh Yadav has got omitted from team India’s white-ball set-up, the speedster has found it vastly difficult to bowl in white-ball cricket. Especially in the IPL, Yadav used to be one of the frontline pacers of the RCB team but because of his off late malfunction, he was finally released before the IPL 2021. Even in the DC camp, younger players like Avesh Khan were seen to be ahead of Umesh Yadav when it came to playing some IPL games.

Now especially in the last two seasons of the IPL, Yadav has looked very awful as from his collective 13 matches, the speedster has leaked runs at an economy of close to 11. Even in terms of wickets, merely 8 of them were scalped especially with none being fetched in the 2020 IPL. Further, when also considering his overall T20 numbers, Yadav from his total 148 games has picked 148 wickets at an economy of 8.36.

Although now his overall T20 numbers might still seem to be reasonable, the cricketing experts, in general, have often castigated the pacer for not having proper control when it comes to his bowling in the T20s. Very often, Yadav has not only failed to bowl economically in the power plays but also has been taken to the cleaners in the death overs. Hence, with the pacer barely seems to be having a pleasant run in the shortest format, maybe the cricketer needs to exponentially reinvigorate himself, or else he might get dumped just like some other Indian pacers.
