The 28-year-old, who made his Ranji debut quite late due to injury issues, claimed the wickets of Aryan Juyal, Ankit Rajpoot and Sameer Rizvi as Uttar Pradesh were bowled out for 216 in their first innings.
Yadav opened his account on the third ball of his first over as Juyal was caught behind by Ajay Rohera for 13 and he followed it up with two absolutely brilliant deliveries to castle Rajpoot and Rizvi on consecutive deliveries. Both the batsmen were beaten by the movement that Yadav produced and were clean bowled.
