Umesh Yadav news
Before the start of play on Day 4, Australia already held a lead of 296 runs in the WTC final. Rohit Sharma and his teammates surely aimed to take an early wicket, and they achieved that within the first half-hour of play.
In India's recent third Test loss to Australia at Indore, Umesh played a crucial role with the ball, displaying a brilliant reverse swing in Australia's first innings that led to a collapse of six wickets for just 12 runs.
Although Umesh Yadav is expected to be available for selection in the third Test match, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami are currently ahead of him in the pecking order and are likely to retain their spots in the playing XI.
Talking about other options, the captain said, "Few options were there. Prasidh is injured, Siraj is playing county and we didn't want to fly him in just for a game or two. Avesh was sick in Asia Cup, he will take time to rebuild his fitness."
