Rhythm takes time, says Umesh Yadav
"Right now I am bowling well and feeling fine. I have already played two Ranji games. I am getting better and feeling better," Umesh Yadav said.
MUMBAI: Back in the side after being sidelined for some months due to poor form, Umesh Yadav said he will focus on getting his line and length right in next month's Test and ODI series against South Africa.
"Mentally I will be ready to bowl to a length, which could be three-quarter and around the off stump. I am focused on this aspect. Bowling wicket to wicket is very important in Test match cricket," he said. The 26-year-old Vidarbha bowler will be representing his side in the Ranji match against Mumbai starting on Thursday.
Asked about his interaction with the host skipper and senior India bowler Zaheer Khan at the nets, Yadav said, "We met after a long time He enquired about my fitness and advised me to concentrate on line and length,"
All about match practice
"For every fast bowler match practice is very important. There will be lot of bounce on the South African wickets. So, this match against Mumbai will be a good preparation on a probably helpful wicket here," he said. "The Ranji games are good practice games for me to improve fitness," he added.
The speedster had a back injury which ruled him out for the Australia series but he said he is feeling fine now.
"Right now I am bowling well and feeling fine. I have already played two Ranji games. I am getting better and feeling better," he said. He admitted that he is not bowling at the same level right now.
