Yadav's Instagram post garners significant attention
Yadav's Instagram reel has gone viral, racking up nearly 250,000 likes in just three hours of being posted.
In the caption of his post, he called 2024 a year of the "highest of highs" and some lows.
But despite the challenges, Yadav is ready to welcome 2025 with renewed energy and higher spirits to reach even greater heights in his cricketing career.
Future prospects
Yadav to lead India in upcoming T20I series
Looking ahead, 2025 opens new avenues for Yadav. He will lead India in a home T20I series against England, comprising five matches.
The series is an important part of India's preparations for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka in 2026.
Yadav's performance will also be keenly observed by his IPL team Mumbai Indians, who retained him ahead of the mega auction after a disappointing last season.
