Vivek Yadav (born 9 December 1984) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Rajasthan.[1] He was born in Rohtak, Haryana.

Vivek Yadav slammed 287 runs off 146 balls and grabbed 7 wickets conceding just 1 run in a 50-over match on 07-Oct-2013 at Jaipur. This is a world record for Club Level cricket.

In a tournament organized at Jaipur in the memory of former Ranji Player Shamsher Singh, Vivek Yadav played a blistering knock of 287 runs for his team Arawali Cricket Club in a 50 over match. This cricket tournament is affiliated with the Jaipur District Cricket Association. This is the highest individual score by any batsman in the 50-over format of cricket. Chasing a huge total of 513 runs in 50 overs, Saint Angel Club from Lucknow managed to score only 20 runs for the loss of 10 wickets. After giving a brilliant performance with the bat, Vivek Yadav shone with the ball too and picked up 7 wickets, conceding only 1 run in his four overs with 3 maidens.

Vivek Yadav's Arawali Cricket Club won the match by 490 runs which is also a record in this format of game. In his 287 run innings he scored 49 4's and 5 6's which is also a record of its kind.

Vivek Yadav also played a crucial role with the ball for Rajasthan to lift their very first Ranji Trophy.
