IPL 2018: 7 Players who are doing wonders for their new Franchise

#3 Umesh Yadav (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Yadav has been on fire for RCB

Imagine this scenario - You let your best fast bowler, who has been playing for you for four years, go because of one poor season and, to your bad luck, he goes to some other team and temporarily becomes the highest wicket-taker of the tournament.

This is exactly what has happened with Kolkata Knight Riders and Umesh Yadav. Barring a few on-and-off bad balls, Yadav has been the best fast bowler of this season of IPL.

If one takes out that dismal bowling performance against Rajasthan Royals, where he went wicketless and for 59 runs in his four overs, Yadav's performance has been second to none.

Joint highest wicket-taker of the tournament so far, his double strike in the first two balls against Mumbai Indians was the best start that his team could have asked for.

His triple strike over against KXIP laid the foundation of the victory for RCB. With eight wickets in five matches, Umesh will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming RCB matches as well.
