Umeshkumar Tilak Yadav, born 25 October 1987) is an Indian cricketer who currently plays for Vidarbha. A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Yadav has played for Vidarbha at domestic level since 2008 and is the first player from the team to have played Test cricket. He made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Zimbabwe in May 2010. The following year, in November, Yadav made his Test debut against the West Indies.He is managed by Gaames Unlimited

Yadav's father was a coalmine worker from Village - Pokharbhinda Lala(Baraipur Lala), Post- Govindpur, Deoria district in Uttar Pradesh and Umesh grew up in Valani (WCL Colny), a village of miners near to Khaperkheda, in Nagpur District of Mharastra State, India.His father is working in WCL Mines. He attended his Schooling in Shankar Rao Chouhan Vidyalaya, Khaperkheda. Before becoming a professional cricketer, Umesh Yadav unsuccessfully applied to join the army and the police force. In 2007–2008, having previously only ever played tennis ball cricket, Yadav began bowling with a leather ball and joined Vidarbha, an unfashionable team in the Plate League of the Ranji Trophy. Pritam Gandhe, Vidharbha's captain, supported Yadav and ensured he represented Air India in a twenty20 tournament. Of Yadav's early career Gandhe remarked "He was raw and wayward. But he was really quick – too quick. I thought that if he lands at least three out of six balls in line with the stumps, he will trouble batsmen."
