Early Career

He did it again in a sporting club match against Najafgarh Sports Complex. Lalit Yadav ended up scoring a century in that match. He scored an explosive 130 made from only 46 balls. His fiery innings contained 13 sixes and 9 fours. His innings turned the entire match one-sided as his team ended up making a gigantic score and got the opposition all out for merely 75 runs.
