Despite facing challenges during the 2024 Indian Premier League season with Mumbai Indians, including injuries that sidelined him at the start of the tournament, Yadav showcased his resilience and determination. He scored 345 runs at a striking rate of 167.47, which included a remarkable unbeaten century off just 51 balls.

Yadav’s leadership abilities were also on display when he captained the Indian team during a T20I series in South Africa in December. However, an unfortunate ankle injury sustained during the series hampered his subsequent participation in matches, including Mumbai Indians’ initial games in the 2024 IPL season.
