Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav’s father Tilak Yadav passed away on Wednesday at the age of 74. It has been learned that Umesh’s father wasn’t keeping well for quite a long time and was getting treated at a private hospital. Since there were no signs of improvement in his health, he was brought home, in Khaparkheda, where he took his last breath on February 22.
According to Indian Today, Tilak Yadav was a native of Pokarbhinda village in the Padrauna district of Uttar Pradesh. Since he worked in Western Coal Fields, he moved to Valni mines in the Nagpur district. The report also stated that Umesh’s father used to be a wrestler in his young days. He is now survived by three sons and a daughter.
