9 players who earned a BCCI contract for the first time ever

Jayant Yadav – Grade C

Jayant Yadav was a breakout star as soon as he made his debut

27-year-old Jayant Yadav was a bit of a late bloomer but he had an amazing impact when he made his debut for team India in Test cricket against New Zealand in 2016. In just 4 Test matches, he took 11 wickets while scoring a 50 and a 100 as well.

His first-class record for Haryana is great as well where he has managed nearly 2000 runs while picking up 128 wickets. His temperament was praised by Virat Kohli and his ability to contribute with both the bat and the ball set him apart.
