Umesh Yadav is currently 6th in the purple cap race
Roped in by KKR for his base price in the second round of the IPL mega auction, Umesh Yadav has played in all seven matches so far. He began the tournament on a bright note by claiming wickets in the powerplay and enduring a positive start for the franchise.
His run of good games came to a stall with KKR playing their most recent set of matches at the Brabourne Stadium. The two-time winners continued their winless run at the iconic venue and their star pacer has registered figures of 1/48, 0/31 and 0/44 in the last three matches.
According to the IPL schedule, KKR are next scheduled to face table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) at the DY Patil Stadium on April 23 (Saturday).
