Firstly, we need to stop comparing Umar and Asim’s journeys. They were with different people, they are different personalities and naturally played differently.
However, if you must compare, let’s not forget for atleast half the season Asim was in Siddharth’s shadow. He only came out of his shadow after half the season was over.
Umar (as was Asim) is an outsider, unaware of his fan base and it’s natural to align with a strong contender. 
If Umar gets out of KK’s shadow in the next 3-4 weeks maximum, he will go far.
