Tejashwi Yadav, one of India’s well-known politicians, recently mentioned in an interview that Virat Kohli played under his captaincy in cricket. Before entering politics, Tejashwi Yadav, son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, was a professional cricketer. However, he had to leave cricket due to an injury. Let’s find out when Tejashwi played cricket under Virat Kohli’s captaincy.

Both Tejashwi Yadav and Virat Kohli played age-group cricket together for Delhi. According to media reports, Tejashwi made his debut for Delhi’s Under-15 team in 2003, in a match against Jammu and Kashmir. At that time, Virat Kohli was the captain of the Delhi Under-15 team.

Although Tejashwi played four T20s, two List A matches, and one First Class match in his career, these matches were for Jharkhand. On the other hand, Kohli never played for Jharkhand. So, it seems that Tejashwi played under Kohli’s captaincy only in age-group cricket.

How Many Runs and Wickets Did Tejashwi Yadav Get in His Career?

While playing for Jharkhand, Tejashwi Yadav played 1 First Class match, 2 List A matches, and 4 T20 matches. In the 2 innings of his First Class career, he scored 20 runs.
