UPT20 League: Vijay Yadav -- The Ambidextrous 24-year-old Mystery Spinner Making Waves This Season
Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association: The sight of a bowler comfortably switching arms mid-over is a rarity in modern cricket, but 24-year-old Vijay Yadav is making it a familiar spectacle in the ongoing UP T20 League 2026. Armed with the unique ability to bowl with both arms, the young spinner recently delivered a match-winning performance, picking up two crucial wickets for the defending champions, Kashi Rudras, in their win over his former franchise, the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions. Yadavs journey in the UP T20 League began when he was scouted as a promising local talent ahead of the 2024 season. He spent his first two years representing the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions before the Kashi Rudras roped him in for 5.2 lakh at the 2026 auction. For the young spinner, however, the price tag was merely a stepping stone rather than a distraction. Didn't think much about it, Yadav says, reflecting on his auction price. For me, it's just that whatever you invest in cricket, God rewards you for it. Mostly, the money was just spent on equipment. Hailing from Gorakhpur, Yadavs cricketing dreams were born out of a historic national triumph. With a father serving as a Sub-Inspector in the police and his mother a homemaker, a career in sports wasn't necessarily the default path. I belong to Gorakhpur. My father is a Sub-Inspector in the police and mummy is a homemaker, he explains. I started cricket in 2012 when India won the World Cup in 2011...I got inspired by that. I got a lot of motivation that I should also do something good for the country. That inspiration translated into years of grinding through the ranks. Yadav went on to represent the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) in both the U-19 and U-23 domestic tournaments, catching the eyes of scouts with his rare ambidextrous skill. Mastering the art of bowling with both arms, however, was born out of tactical necessity rather than a desire to simply be different. Like, from the start, my left hand used to work a little, Yadav says, explaining his evolution. Right-handed batters attack right-handed bowlers more, so there was some difficulty in bowling to them. After that, I started my left arm and worked hard on it... and with practice, I got more control. While it looks entirely seamless on television, he admits the physical toll of his craft is often misunderstood. Bowling with both hands is tough, though. People find it easy, but I have to practice with both hands. His hard work didn't go unnoticed in his formative years. Coaches supported me a lot because I was doing well, and if I have to do even better, I know I have to work hard. While he is gaining a reputation as a mystery spinner, Yadav is also a handy lower-order batter. Interestingly, he sticks to a more traditional stance when he has a bat in hand. I only do right-handed batting. I am a lower-order batter, so mostly I try to hit sixes. Because I get fewer balls, I try to make a bigger impact. When it comes to his mindset and approach to the game, Yadav looks up to a modern-day icon who is synonymous with a relentless work ethic. My idol is obviously Virat Kohli. He is the inspiration. Looking at him, you feel like he has so much passion for cricket. It feels nice to see that. His motivation, dedication, aggression... I really like it. With his performances in the UP T20 League, the 24-year-old is already knocking on the doors of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The exposure from the state-level franchise tournament has put him on the radar of some of the biggest teams in the country. When it comes to his mindset and approach to the game, Yadav looks up to a modern-day icon who is synonymous with a relentless work ethic. My idol is obviously Virat Kohli. He is the inspiration.

I look forward to working with UP Warriorz to identify exciting young cricketers and contribute towards building a strong talent pipeline for the franchise, Neetu said in a statement on Wednesday. She took part in last week's off-season camp for UPW domestic players at the Sai Krishnan Grounds in Bengaluru, joining the support staff led by head coach Abhishek Nayar. The support staff also includes fielding coach Saurabh Bandekar and mentor Lisa Sthalekar, as the team looks to overhaul its talent identification process following consecutive lean seasons in the WPL. Kshemal Waingankar, COO & Director of Cricket at Capri Sports, highlighted that Neetus local roots in Uttar Pradesh make the association particularly significant for the franchise's vision. We are delighted to welcome Neetu David to UP Warriorz as our Head of Scouting. Neetu jis contribution to Indian womens cricket has been exceptional. Her experience both as an International Cricketer and as Chairperson of the Indian Womens Selection Committee gives her a unique perspective on identifying talent and understanding what it takes to succeed at the highest level Her roots in Uttar Pradesh make this association even more special for us. As a franchise, we are committed to building a strong and sustainable scouting structure that enables us to identify and nurture the best talent from across the country, and we believe Neetu ji will play a pivotal role in shaping that vision, he added.
