#3 Umesh Yadav vs Glenn Maxwell

He may have blown hot and cold, but fast bowler Umesh Yadav has comfortably been RCB’s most effective quick bowler in the tournament so far. Except in the game against RR, he has been excellent and has picked up 7 wickets so far, with an economy rate of just over 9.

He would have to deliver in tonight’s game if RCB are to entertain any chance of winning and his potential clash against Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell is going to be fascinating.

Yadav did not do much in his first two games but seemed to be back in his six-hitting groove during DD’s rout against KKR. He hit 47 off 22 balls and hit 4 sixes, along with 3 fours. He is someone who can really hurt RCB, but in Umesh Yadav, he is going to come up against a bowler who has had the better of him in recent encounters.

He has been dismissed by Yadav thrice in T20 cricket and he would perhaps like to set the record straight tonight.
