For a 17 year old, he look a 27 year old.

Someone please upload picture of him

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He is the greatest. Should walk into a cricket side in history of the game.

Him and Hobbs opening the batting

Umesh Yadav

Just seen him bowl a amazing bowling spell against Punjab in a ipl, always makes you think why his international cricket career he never kicked on and become a world class standard bowler he had the talent for sure.

He is a real pace bowler though. His real strength internationally would be forming a part of India's pace attack. That country can now field Shami, Umesh, Bhuvi and Sharma with Ashwin. If you could teleport Kak back into that line up well ... Even so its a very good bowling side and,from an Aussie pov, complements a relatively strong batting side. They must be faves when they play us out here. Out of that lot I think Shami is the best but Umesh is my favourite.

 

[OverratedSanity]

He should be in the test team. Shame he was left out in the series in SA.

 

[Daemon]

Was so good throughout the home season, especially against England. Pretty annoying how Bumrah just leapfrogged him.

 

[the big bambino]

Forgot about Bumrah. I think he justified his selection. I’d have him over Sharma.

 

[harsh.ag]

If Shami doesn't get back his groove, then he should definitely be in the team

 

[Daemon]

?? Shami was pretty good in SA.

 

[fredfertang]

He should do well in England

 

[Starfighter]

He's been a bit disappointing to me. Has pace, can swing the ball, but never really had the accuracy or consistency. I remember him hitting some pretty good speeds out here in 2011, although the speedguns were a bit hot that year.

He definitely seemed to improve in those aspects when he was dropped from the one day set up. He still has the odd bad spell in him (particularly with the new ball) but with the old ball reversing he's been top class and unplayable at times.

Dunno, maybe I'm mis-remembering.

For England, Bhuvi is a certainity. Shami too. Have to pick one between Umesh, Bumrah, and Ishant. Hardik and Ashwin will play I guess.

 

[harsh.ag]

I'm tempted to go with both Bumrah and Umesh, but India need some lower order batting.

I know he's been good with the old ball, but there sure wasn't much difference between his performances in 2011/12 and 2014/15 in Australia. Perhaps my expectations were just too high.

There was quite a lot of difference when he came back in 14/15 - he bowled utter trash in that series compared to 11/12 where he looked promising. Granted the decks were awful but it was really poor. I think Kohli has decided he's going to be his SC reverse swing bowler. I don't see him playing ahead of Sharma/Bumrah overseas at this point.

Rishabh Pant

Can he have a better international career than Vinod Khambli

 

[slippy888]

Both had similar batting techniques question needs to be asked.

 

[CricAddict]

One of Pant, Kishan and Samson will take over the mantle from Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik in ODIs and Saha in tests. We will have to wait and see who it is. My bet is on Pant.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I can see him fitting in on the international scene with Root, de Kock and co.
