Built tall and strong like his more famous father Shivlal, Arjun Yadav is a right-hand batsman and offspinner of moderate ability. Strong performances in age-group cricket pitchforked him into selection for the Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka back in 1999-2000, but he did not play a single match in a tournament India won. Since then he has been a fairly regular fixture in the Hyderabad team, and has been picked for Zonal and India A squads, but his performances with bat and ball in both first-class and one-day cricket have not fulfilled the early promise.
