India vs Australia 2017: Five talking points from the fourth Test at Dharamsala

#3 Aggressive fast bowling

According to Sourav Ganguly, Umesh Yadav has been a find of the season, and there are no two ways to look at it. Quick yet wayward when he started playing Tests, Yadav has evolved into an intelligent bowler who has learned to channelise his aggression and work on his strengths. He managed to push the Australian batsmen on the back foot, even testing them with vicious bouncers to complete his domination. He picked up 17 wickets from four Tests, including three in the final Test.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been unlucky to be on the benches often, but the pacer has always proved his worth when he is in the playing XI. He combined with Umesh for a deadly opening spell, one which saw him making David Warner and Matt Renshaw sniff bouncers, and eventually pocketed the wicket of Steve Smith, the most crucial of the lot.
