India’s fast bowling sensation Umesh Yadav has said he is enjoying bowling in tandem with his bowling partner Varun Aaron and feels their camaraderie helped India win the first One-Day International at Cuttack in a thrilling run-chase.
He was quoted in Mail Today as saying, “(In Cuttack) I kept my cool when we came to bat. I just wanted to play and take the singles or twos as we needed 11 runs. Even Varun told me to take the ones and twos. When we bowl together, it is a good experience as we both are pace bowlers. We gel well because when he is taking wickets from one end, I need to keep the other end tight and viceversa. We have a good connection going.”
Yadav, who could be in the first batch of players to go Australia, feels that going early would help him practice more ahead of the Test series. He said, “If get to go there early, it will help me. I will get enough time to practice and get used to the conditions there. And I will be able to adjust to the bowling conditions as well.”
The Vidharbha pacer feels that the transistion from Test cricket may be challenging but is not tedious to adjust either ways. “Normally there is a lot of difference. In Tests, you have a lot of time and ODI is a fast-paced format and you have only 10 overs to bowl. Within that, you have to save runs and also take wickets. In Tests, you need to be consistent and need to bowl in particular areas all day,” Yadav said.
