Professional Life And IPL Story
Yash commenced his professional journey in 2018, with his first List A cricket match probably being for Uttar Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Thereafter, his first-class debut was in the Ranji Trophy, and his T20 debut in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Left-arm fast-medium bowler with the ability to swing the ball, and more importantly, bowling consistently tight lines and lengths, made him one of the more promising young bowlers in the Indian domestic circuit.
In the recent player auction for the IPL 2022 season, the Gujarat Titans bought Yash for 3.2 crore rupees. He made his debut in the league in April and was able to end this season with eleven wickets, being a significant contributor to the Titans winning the title. In the following season, he suffered a tough time as he bowled the last over against Kolkata Knight Riders and was hit for five successive sixes. Gujarat later released him after the 2023 season. He was then bought by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2024 auction for 5 crores. Yash took fifteen wickets in thirteen matches for RCB and played a standout role in a thrilling win over Chennai Super Kings by dismissing MS Dhoni in the final over. And once again, he is part of the RCB team, and he is already off to a good start, and we’re noticing that sharpness in his bowling.
