While speaking to Star Sports, Irfan said that Umesh has everything in his arsenal, he is bowling outswing and his rhythm is perfect. Irfan further said that Umesh went unsold on day one of the IPL mega auction, he was later picked up by KKR at the base price of ₹2 crores which must have hurt him and that’s why he is determined to prove himself.
Harbhajan said that no one had an idea of Umesh’s true potential and now Umesh seems to be in the form of his lifetime.
After nearly going unsold at the IPL mega auction, Umesh Yadav's performance in IPL 2022 has been spectacular. He has taken 10 wickets in 5 matches and is second on the list of players with the most wickets in IPL 2022.
