Pacer Gaurav Yadav has been a revelation for Pondicherry in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season.
He was instrumental in his team’s away wins versus Delhi and Uttarakhand, with three five-wicket hauls (seven for 49 vs. Delhi, six for 40 and seven for 53 vs. Uttarakhand) from the two matches. The win against Delhi was only Pondicherry’s second win in the elite group in the competition history.
He’s been the season’s leading wicket-taker so far, with 39 wickets from nine innings at an average of 11.92 and an economy of 2.55. He has had five five-wicket hauls as well.
