Umesh Yadav has been leaking runs in the death overs. Image Source: File Pic[/caption]Internet Desk: Often criticised for not bowling consistent yorkers like his younger fast-bowling counterpart Jasprit Bumrah, Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Umesh Yadav says his action is more suited for full length outswing deliveries.
Yadav, over the years, has always said he would not compromise on pace for line and length as speed is one area which is non-negotiable for him.
"There would be days when the length would be wrong. The advantage for Jasprit (Bumrah) is that his action is natural when it comes to bowling yorkers while my action means that my stock ball will be outswinger," he said.
While his stock ball is outswinger, Umesh said he is now more confident of his ability to bowl the inswingers to right-handed batsmen.
While his stock ball is outswinger, Umesh said he is now more confident of his ability to bowl the inswingers to right-handed batsmen. He has played 9 matches for Kolkata Knight Riders this year, taking 10 wickets but termed his season an "average one" so far.
Meanwhile, Shaun Tait replaces injured John Hastings in the KKR squad. Knight Riders trained today at the Eden Gardens ahead of the match against Rising Pune Supergiants on Saturday.
Mentor Wasim Akram worked hard with Umesh Yadav on his death bowling and Andre Russell was absent today at training.
