Umesh Yadav Suffers Injury While Bowling His 4th Over On Day 3 At MCG

Umesh Yadav who was in the middle of an outstanding spell seemed to be in discomfort in the middle of his 4th over and called for attention immediately, after which he limped back to the dressing room.

He suffered an apparent calf injury during the 3rd day of the 2nd Test against Australia at Melbourne on Monday as India suffered another setback as both Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami are not available for injuries.

Umesh Yadav Seemed To Have Injured His Knee While Bowling His 4th Over

Umesh Yadav, 33, complained of pain in his calf while bowling his fourth over which was the eighth over of the Australian second innings. He had conceded only five runs and dismissed opener Joe Burns, who was caught by wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant in only his second over earlier.

In the middle of a fine spell, the bowler seemed to be in pain following which he called for immediate attention before limping back to the dressing room. Debutant pacer Mohammed Siraj completed the eighth over bowling the remaining 3 deliveries.

Umesh Yadav’s Injury Cause Of Concern With Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma And Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s Nursing Injuries

India are already missing the services of seasoned pacers Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar and the latest injury setback would add to the visiting team’s woes in the four-match Test series.

With updates awaited on Umesh Yadav’s injury, India’s decision to play five bowlers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground might help their cause. Having bowled out Australia for 195 in their first innings, India put up 326 for a substantial lead of 131 runs. India trail the series 0-1 after their loss in the opener in Adelaide.

As far as the ongoing Boxing Day Test is concerned, Australia have lost three wickets of Joe Burns, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith and are placed now at 72/3 in the 33rd over with opener Matthew Wade and Travis Head at the crease. Umesh Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah have taken one wicket apiece.
