Yash Kothari

Yash Kothari is a dynamic Indian batting all-rounder who has been a standout performer for the star-studded Rajasthan side in recent years. A fluent left-handed batter and canny left-arm spinner, Kothari has flourished since the post-COVID resumption of cricket, playing alongside national stars like Rahul Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi.

His breakout moment came in the 2022 Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he smashed back-to-back centuries — 139 (v Jharkhand) and 109* (v Vidarbha) — finishing the tournament with 306 runs at an average of 102. He followed that up with a solid Ranji Trophy campaign, scoring 464 runs at 38.66, narrowly missing a century with a highest score of 96.

While best known for his aggressive strokeplay, Kothari is also an effective, economical left-arm spinner, trusted at both age-group and senior levels. His white-ball success earned him Central Zone honours, where he took 3 wickets in the 2023 Deodhar Trophy.

In 2024, Kothari brought his talents to the UK, and immediately made waves. Playing for Benwell Hill in the North East Premier League, he delivered a stellar debut season: 1,114 runs at 65.47 with 5 centuries, and 30 wickets at 26.10. Returning to India in red-hot form, he averaged 40.75 in the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy before heading back to the UK in 2025 for Alsager in the North Staffs and South Cheshire League. Once again, he impressed — 723 runs at 55.62 and 17 wickets at 30.82.

Across two seasons, Kothari has established himself as one of UK league cricket’s most dominant professionals, bringing game-changing ability with both bat and ball. Now open to a return in 2026, he offers proven pedigree, international-level experience, and the kind of match-winning quality any club would love to have.
