The pacer from Vidharbha has picked 17 wickets from 4 tests, including the three wickets he took today. Commenting about the performance of Umesh in the series, Sourav said, “ To see an Australia team in back foot against fast bowling is a great sign. Umesh to me is the find of the season. Hope he carries on the good form with the ball.” The Cricket Association of Bengal President also praised Kuldeep Yadav on his superb debut. “Hopefully it’s the beginning of something very good,” said Sourav to the reporters at the Eden Gardens. According to Sourav, “He is young. He will learn. Credit should go to Kumble for giving him an opportunity. End of the day it’s the bowlers who will pick 20 wickets for you to win test matches.” Sourav, who is the ambassador for FIFA U’17 World Cup in India is happy to see Kolkata getting the final of the marquee event. “It’s great to see the final being played in Kolkata,” quipped Sourav. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnFfyLJe1v8&feature=youtu.be
