India vs West Indies: Lethal weapon Umesh runs riot
Umesh Yadav, a walking manual of fast bowling on Indian pitches, picks up 10 wickets in Hyderabad as India rout West Indies to win the series 2-0
Right-arm pacer Umesh Yadav's maiden 10-wicket haul helped India drub Windies by 10 wickets and complete a series whitewash on the third day of the second Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Jason Holder and Shannon Gabriel were impressive in the first session and didn't allow India to run away with the game. The duo and Jomel Warrican scalped six wickets between themselves to bowl India out for 367 in 106.4 overs. Having resumed the middle day on 308 for 4, India could only manage to add 53 runs to their overnight score and had to settle with a first innings lead of 56 runs.
However, Umesh and Ravindra Jadeja shared seven wickets between themselves to ensure there was no fightback and bundled out Windies for mere 126 in 46.1 overs. Chasing 72, openers KL Rahul (33*) and Prithvi Shaw (33*) ensured they completed the formalities before the end of Day 3.
The momentum was with Windies but it didn't take India too long to snatch it from the visiting side. Umesh, who picked up two wickets in consecutive deliveries to end Windies first innings, failed to claim a hat-trick, but got rid of Kraigg Brathwaite (nought) in the only second delivery of the first over. It was a loosener down the leg side and Brathwaite somehow managed to get a feather on his leg-glance and Pant had to dive to his left to complete a catch. Kieran Powell (nought) followed his partner back to the pavilion a couple of overs later, inducing an edge to Ajinkya Rahane at first slip.
Coming in at No.3, Shai Hope (28) struck three delightful boundaries off Umesh while Shimron Hetmeyer (17) too tried to be assertive against spinners in their 39-run stand. However, Hetmyer ended up playing way too many shots and fell to Kuldeep Yadav for the third time in this series. Hope too couldn't survive for long and fell to Ravindra Jadeja's away-turning delivery. Windies' biggest hope Roston Chase (6), and Shane Dowrich (nought), were knocked over by Umesh's brilliant inswinging deliveries.
Sunil Ambris (38) and Holder (19) offered some resistance and added a steady 38 runs for the seventh wicket. It was left-arm spinner Jadeja who demolished the little fightback by getting Holder to edge one to the wicketkeeper before trapping Ambris right in front of the stumps. It was only right that Umesh returned to castle Shannon Gabriel and become only the fourth Indian pacer to get a 10-wicket haul at home.
For India, Umesh took 4 for 45, Jadeja got 3 for 12, while Ashwin and Kuldeep chipped in with two and one wickets respectively.
