Deccan Chargers first-ever playing XI in IPL: Where are they now?

7. Arjun Yadav

Being a member of Hyderabad’s First-Class side, Arjun Yadav was picked by the Deccan franchise in IPL 2008. The cricketer, by having a solid physique, was known to be an all-rounder, who could bowl some handy off-breaks. In fact, when India had won the U-19 World Cup in 2000, Arjun was part of the winning team.

In his debut IPL season, he was picked as a number seven who could provide some assistance in bowling. In total, the then 26-year-old featured in eight games, but nothing substantial had come from the cricketer’s performances.

Meanwhile, Arjun is known to have retired from all forms of cricket in 2012. Post-retirement, the all-rounder had been the secretary of the India Cements team. Interestingly, Arjun also served as coach of the Hyderabad team in 2019.
