#3 Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav is back in the blues after a disappointing England series earlier this year courtesy an injury to Shardul Thakur. He is expected to feature in the playing eleven as there is no presence of Bhuvi and Bumrah in the side.
Umesh had a pretty good season in IPL 2018 and in the Test matches played so far. But it is his performance in the limited overs format for India that has been a real concern. With all those pace and energy he is not proving to be a lethal bowler in white-ball cricket what he actually should have been.
However, this is probably his last chance to prove himself before the big tournament as once Bhuvi-Bumrah are back, they would be considered first ahead of him. Therefore, he has to come good in whatever limited chances are provided to him in the remaining matches.
