Ever since Englandā€™s ā€˜Bazballā€™ has come into play, Test cricket seems to behave like faster than ever. Indiaā€™s Umesh Yadav showed a glimpse of it in the first Test against Bangladesh when he launched a 100-meter six off Mehidy Hasan Miraz just a ball after walking into the crease for batting.

In the first Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh, taking place in Chattogramā€™s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, India recovered well after being slipped to 48/3 on Day 1. They closed on 404 after batting 133.5 overs, with Cheteshwar Pujaraā€™s 90 and Shreyas Iyerā€™s 86 playing starring roles. R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav stitched a valiant partnership as well, but it was Umesh Yadav (15* off 10 balls) who made headlines by smacking a blistering hit.

Umesh came to bat at No. 10 during the 132nd over of Indiaā€™s innings after Ashwin fell for 58. After blocking the first ball off Mehidy Hasan Miraz, he went down on one knee for smashing him over deep mid-wicket for six runs. In fact, it was a massive hit from Umeshā€™s bat that it touched the 100-meter mark as well. Mehidy, immediately after Umesh's slog, was shell-shocked for a while before returning to his run-up mark.

Twitterati was delighted after watching Umesh bat in that manner and opined he was Indiaā€™s main man for their Bazball approach, for which England have been heavily praised for their recent success in Pakistan.

Banger from Umesh!
