IPL 2022: Homecoming for Umesh Yadav as he joins KKR camp – Umesh Yadav has joined KKR team bio-bubble ahead of pre-IPL camp. Incidentally, it is a homecoming of sorts for the pace bowler, who has previously bowled many match-winning spells for the Knights. Follow IPL 2022 Live Updates on InisdeSport.IN.
He was with the KKR team between 2014 to 2017. This time around, however, things are going to be slightly different for the right-arm fast bowler. The once-reliable pacer is now out of the national team due to a dip in form and the emergence of other young pacers. A good IPL season can help Yadav get back into the team.
