To date, Yadav has 56 wickets in 13 Tests, including four five-wicket hauls.
India's XI also features Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy, while Devdutt Padikkal was overlooked. Dhruv Jurel comes in as wicketkeeper, replacing the injured Rishabh Pant.
Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj spearhead the pace attack, with Axar Patel joining Yadav in the spin department.
