Umesh Yadav tearing into the West Indies batting lineup and picking wickets was a sight to behold in Hyderabad as the speedster proved what he is truly capable of during his man-of-the-match performance in the second Test which India won by 10 wickets to sweep the series 2-0 on Sunday.

After picking up career-best figures of 6 for 88 in the first innings, he got 4 wicket for 45 runs in the second innings to grab his maiden 10-wicket haul in Test cricket and set up a comprehensive victory for India at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

In the process, Umesh became the third Indian pacer overall to register a 10-wicket haul in Test matches in India. The other two are Javagal Srinath (13/132 vs Pakistan) and Kapil Dev 11/146 vs Pakistan).

What's even more amazing is the fact that he was the lone pacer operating for India throughout the Test due to Shardul Thakur's injury in the fourth over on the first day. Umesh stepped up his game and completely blew away the opposition first with sheer pace and then with reverse swing.

Captain Virat Kohli labelled him as the standout performer for India in this game while former skipper Sunil Gavaskar said Umesh's performance will give the national selectors a pleasant headache when they tour Australia next month.

"Umesh Yadav has been in and out of the Indian team for such a long time. He's travelled to England without playing a match. Clearly the way he's bowled today getting wickets with reverse swinging deliveries... He's made a case to be selected in Australia. That is a pleasant headache for the selectors," Gavaskar told India Today.

As far as the final XI goes, Gavaskar feels Umesh might not get a look in the side in Australia but he will certainly give the Indian batsmen a run for their money in the nets.

"India have some outstanding new-ball bowlers in Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohamemd Shami and even Ishant Sharma. So, it is not going to be easy but the fact that you have Umesh Yadav around is going to be comforting for the selectors and Virat.

"He will also give you good net practice in the nets...it is really important to have good practice in the nets and India will have somebody of Umesh's caliber. But as far as the final XI goes, it will all depend on what combination the team wants to go in with.

"I don't think they will play four new ball bowlers. They might go in with three fast bowlers and a spinner. But, 10 wickets in a match that has only been done twice in a match by Kapil Dev and Javagal Srinath...he has certainly made his case," Gavaskar concluded.

Umesh ended the series as the highes wicket-taker with 11 wickets. His performance was singled out by Kohli in the post-match presentation.

"I would like to single out Umesh. Shardul broke down in the first spell and Umesh deserves what he's achieved in this game. I am pleased to see how he's stepped up for us in the absence of Shami and after Shardul got injured. He keeps giving more than 100 per cent every time in the field.

"We all are happy for him, he's worked really hard and has waited for his chance to step up for us. He is the standout performer for me in this game as far as I am concerned," Kohli said.
