Former Hyderabad pacer Ashwin Yadav died after suffering a cardiac arrest here on Saturday. He was 33 and is survived by his wife and three sons. He played 14 first-class matches and captured 34 wickets.
Ashwin Yadav had made his Ranji Trophy debut in 2007 against Punjab in Mohali. He returned best figures of 6 for 52 against Delhi at Uppal Stadium in the 2008-09 season. Ashwin’s last Ranji Trophy match was against Mumbai in 2009.
Ashwin, however, continued to play for State Bank of Hyderabad and then SBI in the local leagues. He also featured in 10 List A matches and two T20 games. Team India fielding coach, R Sridhar, condoled his death.
“Devastated to hear the news of #Ashwinyadav passing away. A Very jovial and fun loving guy, team man to the core, punched way above his skills as a fast bowler. I pray to God for strength to his family. #gonetooearly #OmShanti You will be missed,” Sridhar tweeted.
