Yadvendrasinhji made his first-class debut in 1934–35, and played in the Nawanagar team that won the Ranji Trophy final in 1936–37, along with his cousins Indravijaysinhji and Ranvirsinhji. Batting at number nine, he made 39 not out and 45 not out, sharing a ninth-wicket partnership of 76 in the first innings with Ranvirsinhji, and a tenth-wicket partnership of 133 in 96 minutes in the second innings with Mubarak Ali.
