His ability to consistently bowl at such high speeds coupled with taking key wickets has made him an invaluable asset for the Lucknow Super Giants.

The young fast bowler’s rise has been meteoric, and his recent performances have certainly cemented his reputation as one of the most exciting talents to watch out for in the tournament. With the IPL season progressing, all eyes will be on Yadav to see if he can continue his blistering form and help guide his team to further victories with his pace and precision.
