Personal life
Yadwad was born in South Goa. His father works as a carptener and was a former footballer himself, but he only played in local tournaments.
In 2019, Yadwad endured a meniscus injury in a local tournament in Chandor, Goa. He was out for three months and was asked to contemplate quitting the sport but he recovered from the injury, thanks to relentless support from his father.[5][6][7][8]
