Umesh Yadav, who is playing the first match of the series, produced a cracker of a delivery to uproot England captain Joe Root’s wicket in the final session of day 1 of the fourth Test at the Oval. After a poor show in the first two sessions, India have bounced back in the final session of the day’s play.
It was a superb delivery by Umesh though. It pitched back of a length around off and came in with the angle to breach Joe Root’s defence. The ball hits the top of the off-stump and Umesh is pumped up as he jumps and punches the air in joy.

According to our Wicket Probability model, the ball that dismissed Joe Root was the most dangerous ball of the Test so far. #ENGvINDOnlyOnSonyTen #JoeRoot #ENGvsIND #Cricket #UmeshYadav pic.twitter.com/168gKW1k9T— Deepak Shelke (@DeepakShelke16) September 2, 2021
