T20 Internationals: his sharpest format by strike rate
In 105 T20 Internationals for India, Yadav averages 37.44 and strikes at 162.63. That strike rate is higher than his IPL returns, suggesting he finds an extra gear in the international arena.
Wankhede is his most productive ground

New Zealand his most profitable international opponent
