For the last few years, India have turned into a pace-bowlers factory with the emergence of many pace bowlers. Umran Malik burst onto the scene a couple of years ago and he was also fast-tracked to the Indian T20 side. However, Umran failed to impress at the highest level as he lacked control at his pace.
Meanwhile, there are encouraging signs in the case of Mayank Yadav as the LSG pacer has displayed impeccable control over his lines and lengths alongside the fiery pace.
