She made her WPL debut in March 2023, where she impressed with a wicket in her first match. Her rise continued in June 2023, when she was named to the India A squad for the Women’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup, and further solidified her place in the India A squad for a multi-format series against Australia in July 2024.

Known for her pace and precision as a right-arm medium-fast bowler, Yashasri has proven to be a valuable asset in all formats of the game. Her right-handed batting further strengthens her all-round abilities.
