Yadav started playing club cricket in Mumbai before he was selected for the Mumbai cricket team. He made his List A debut for Mumbai in February 2010 before making his first class and T20 debut in the same year. In March 2021, he made his T20I debut and later made his ODI debut in July of the same year. He has mainly played limited-overs cricket for India, having played his only Test match in February 2023. He was named as the captain of the Indian team for first time in November 2023 and was re-appointed as the captain of the Indian T20I team in July 2024 after the previous captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20Is.
