Indian team paceman Umesh Yadav has made a big disclosure about the beginning of his cricketing career. He has said that he had to face rejections due to lack of information and was not selected in the team. Umesh, who belongs to a very simple family, has told about the early days of his career, when he did not know much about shoes. He raised in a small village in Maharashtra, Umesh lived a normal rural life. Whether it is stealing mangoes from the garden of others, playing in the fields or cutting the trowel from studies. He has done all the work that every person living in a village does, but he was always hungry that he has to do something in life.

He was known as a bowler in his village and surrounding area and played three matches a day. However, he used to play more matches only with tennis or rubber ball and despite being 20-21 years old, he did not know much about competitive cricket. The district level cricket secretary once saw him playing in the local T20 tournament and he called him to play for Nagpur. Umesh took 8 wickets in his very first match, on which he was invited to be part of the "Top 30" summer camp, but it proved to be his biggest challenge so far, because before this camp Umesh Yadav almost made up his mind to quit cricket. However, his friends did all that for him, which is the duty of every friend to see his friend moving forward.

Umesh says, "The coach called me and asked where my shoes were. I told him that I didn't have spikes and I would have to bowl in my normal shoes. He was very annoyed on hearing this. He said that how can you come here to play, you don't even have spikes. Call anyone to play. Go away from here. " After listening to this, he had made up his mind to finish his cricket journey, but friends helped him and got shoes (spikes) and then the rest is history, which the world knows.
