Vivek Yadav (9 December 1984 – 5 May 2021) was an Indian cricketer who played for Rajasthan in first-class, List A and T20 matches.[1] He was a primary bowler who bowled leg spin. Though he is known to be a front line bowler, he was known for scoring a knock of 287 runs in an unofficial tournament which was sponsored by the Jaipur District Cricket Association in 2013 with the remembrance of the late Rajasthan cricketer, Shamsher Singh who died due to a heart attack at the age of 40 in 2013.[2]

Career[edit]

He has appeared in 18 first-class cricket matches and has been a prominent leg spinner taking 57 wickets in first-class cricket matches.

He was part of the Rajasthan team which won the 2011 Ranji Trophy beating Baroda in the final as the victory was calculated considering the first innings team total of both the teams where the match ended in a draw.[3] He claimed four wickets in the Baroda's first innings score of 361.[4]

Vivek Yadav was bought by the Delhi Daredevils team for the 2011 Indian Premier League season. However, he didn't feature in any of the matches for the Delhi Daredevils team during the 2011 season.[5] He was also sacked from the team for the 2012 IPL season.[6]

Death[edit]

He died on 5 May 2021 from complications from stomach cancer and COVID-19.[7][8]
