No matter how far we go hyping Ashwin, there still exists bowlers who are better than him. Like Umesh Yadav!!
Despite not getting much opportunities to show his skills, he still managed to become one of the fastest bowlers.
Umesh Yadav has made a mark with his performances in Test matches.
It is hence interesting to note that Umesh has become the fastest Indian fast bowler to reach 100 Test wickets in India.
Umesh has got to the mark with a strike rate of 46.1, which is better than that of former India captain Kapil Dev (55.7).
Kapil is the highest wicket taker in India among Indian pacers with 219 wickets.
Javagal Srinath is second in the list with 108 wickets, Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma come next with 104.
Umesh's strike rate, however, stands above all of the aforementioned fast bowlers.
So without any doubt we can say that Umesh Yadav is a better bowler and we need to look at other great bowlers too other than Ashwin!!
