As the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) gear up to take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the upcoming match, KKR pacer Umesh Yadav has expressed his desire to make a bigger impact in the game.<\/p>\n
Yadav, who has been economical in the powerplay but has not been able to pick up many wickets, believes that his team expects him to make early breakthroughs in the game. Speaking ahead of the match, Yadav said, \u201cI feel I\u2019m bowling alright, but not getting many wickets. So while I\u2019m economical in powerplay, it\u2019ll be great if I can pick up one or two wickets up front. That\u2019s what the team expects from me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pacer, who played a crucial role for KKR in the previous edition of the IPL, hopes to replicate his success in the upcoming match. \u201cThat\u2019s what I did last year. Not everyone is going to fire in the same game. The main thing is that if 2-3 players are having a good day, they should finish the game,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Yadav also spoke about his approach to batting, following his 22-run knock in the last game. \u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to get a single on that ball. My effort was to hit a six or four. But that was Rinku\u2019s day. It was meant to be,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
