Hyderabad: Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav said he has improved his line and length in the recent matches.

Yadav, who took four wickets for 53 and played a key role in India's third consecutive win against Sri Lanka here, told reporters that he is trying not to bowl short and also forcing the batsmen to play. He said he even reduced his run-up by a few yards in Sunday's match to focus on the line and length.
