The bright spark of the ongoing India-Australia series will go on to become a beaconing light for India. Umesh Yadav will not just end the drought of quality fast bowlers in India but will play a long eventful innings.

Umesh has a classy horoscope with three planets — Uranus, Mars and ‘Planet Y’ in exaltation and Venus in its own house.

While Mars, the indicator of power and stamina is responsible for him being a fast bowler, ‘Planet-Y’ would make him a celebrated one at that. While Venus would enable this son of a coal mine worker to a life of luxury, Uranus would propel him to create a few unique cricket records.

The Vidarbha cricketer would hit a purple patch from now till 2015 wherein he would emerge as one of the most successful fast bowlers for India. Besides Australia, expect him to come up with stellar performances against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and England. He would also show brilliance in the Twenty20 World Cup next year and would be one of the best bowlers during the 2015 World Cup.

The fast bowler would still be around and play a major mentoring role to youngsters while Indian cricket goes through a major transformation, post 2015 World Cup. The resilient Scorpio would recover fast from injuries, if any, unlike many fast bowlers of his generation. The Delhi Daredevil would also power his team to new heights in the IPL in 2012 and 2013.

He may not become a legend but would certainly be remembered as an effective fast bowler. Umesh’s success would bring in a renaissance that would spur a new generation of fast bowlers.
