5 Indian bowlers who have tormented Australia in Tests

#4 Umesh Yadav

CXI v India - International 4-Day Tour Match: Day 3

Umesh Yadav will play a key role for India in the Test series against Australia. His bouncers and his ability to reverse swing the ball at will pose a major threat to the Australian batsmen.

In the 11 tests he has played against Australia, he has 42 dismissals to his name. A lot of batsmen have fallen prey to Umesh Yadav's line and lengths in the past.

He would surely have a bigger role to play this time as India is heavily reliant on Umesh Yadav's variations. He can provide the much-needed breakthroughs during the middle overs of the game and turn the momentum in India's favor.

Cricket pundits have batted for Umesh Yadav's inclusion in the playing XI for the first test against Australia at the expense of Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the pitches in Australia are tailor-made for his bowling abilities.
