Jayant Yadav is an Indian off-spinner who is a handy lower order batsman. Yadav got a national call up after consistent shows in the domestic circuit. In the four Test he played, Yadav did decent job in the role of a third spinner and exceeded the expectations with the bat scoring a ton besides one fifty plus score. However, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowling tremendously in home Tests, Yadav could not get much opportunities thereafter.

- Jayant started as a leg-spinner but switched to off-spin because two of his cousin were leg-spinners and in the backyard cricket a third leg-spinner was not allowed.
- Jayant always carried a set of cricket balls with him so as to carry out practice wherever it is possible.
- Jayant’s mother died in a plane crash in the year 1990.
I chirp from the slips cordon, warm bench on football pitch and take part in social media banter.
