AGENCIES: Umesh Yadav is not someone who is well known for his batting skills but on Day 2 of the third Test encounter between India and South Africa, the fast bowler thrilled everyone with his six-hitting talents.
Umesh Yadav (31) smacked five sixes, all off-spinner George Linde’s bowling, in a 10-ball blitz before falling to the tormented left-arm spinner who returned figures of 4-133.
It was his highest score in Test cricket and thanks to his brilliant batting, he became the third batsman ever to score two sixes off the first two deliveries he faced.
Former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and late West Indies batsman Foffie Williams are the two other batsmen.
