He did his best against Delhi in the 2008-09 season at Uppal Stadium, taking six wickets for 52 runs.
Fielding coach of the Indian team R Sridhar expressed grief over the death of Yadav. He tweeted, ‘Sad to hear the news of Ashwin Yadav’s demise. He was very cheerful and totally a ‘team man’. I will pray to God to give strength to his family. om Shanti. Will miss you.
Former Hyderabad opener Daniel Manohar, who captained Yadav for SBH in local matches, said he was too young to die. “He always enjoyed his cricket and an aggressive fast bowler. It is shocking news because he was always a fitness fanatic. It is sad he is no more,’’ said Manohar.
