It appears that all the effort Delhi Capitals' pacer Umesh Yadav put into improving his fitness is bearing fruit now. During a practice match ahead of their next Indian Premier League (IPL) game, the right-arm pacer showed incredible flexibility and reflexes as he lunged into his follow-through to take a return catch off Ajinkya Rahane with his wrong hand. A video tweeted by the Delhi Capitals (DC) showed the one-hand stunner, with Umesh halfway into the air. DC tagged the video #YehHaiNayiDilli. The pacer had suffered a calf injury during India's recent tour of Australia. Later, during the home series against England, Umesh returned to the squad for the final two Tests.
