Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
With the kind of success Shivlal's predecessors had tasted during their careers, it was always going to be difficult to fill their shoes. However, Shivlal did remarkably well to stay involved in the Indian Test setup for almost 8 years. Along with Ravi Shastri and Dilip Doshi, he formed a formidable spin trio in the early eighties.
Not someone who could get the ball to turn big, Shivlal was always a dependable option for the captain. Being economical as well as possessing extraordinary levels of stamina made him a very reliable bowler. Shivlal had a great debut series against Australia as he picked up 24 wickets in 5 Tests, including three 4-wicket hauls. His instant success led to the omission of Venkataraghavan in his favour.
A dip in form in 1981/82 saw Shivlal lose his place in the team, but he was recalled when the West Indies visited India in 1983. He managed to pick up a 5-wicket haul in the first innings of his comeback match in Bombay (now Mumbai). In a 3-match Test series against Australia in 1985/86, he bagged 15 wickets. In the final Test in Sydney, he produced his career-best match figures of 8/118 and helped India enforce the follow-on.
His best figures in an innings came against Sri Lanka in 1986. Playing in Nagpur, his 5/76 in the first innings played a vital role as India won the game by an innings and 106 runs. He became a member of the 100-wicket club in his penultimate Test against Pakistan in 1987. He also has 8 wickets to his name in a 7-match long ODI career.
After retirement, Shivlal served as a national selector and is famously remembered for sacking Mohammad Azharuddin as captain. From 2000-2009, he was the secretary of Hyderabad Cricket Association and in 2013, he was named as BCCI vice-president. In 2014, the Supreme Court appointed him as the interim chief of the BCCI for all the non-IPL affairs.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
He made his Test debut even as the great spin quartet was breaking up and, predictably enough, Shivlal Yadav faced uncharitable comparisons with his illustrious predecessors. It was to the credit of this stout hearted cricketer that he more than held his own and commanded a more or less regular place in the Indian team till 1987. At the time of his last Test, his overall figures compared favourably with the best Indian spin bowlers.
An offspinner who possessed many fine qualities, Yadav was not afraid to flight the ball. He was never a big turner of the ball but had tremendous stamina, was steadiness personified and he was hardly ever collared. He made a striking debut when in his first series against Australia in 1979, he took 24 wickets in five Tests and his success led to the exclusion of Venkatraghavan. He fitted in admirably with Shastri and Doshi to form the spin trio of the early 80s. He lost his place for a while but regained a spot when the West Indies toured India in 1983-84, picking up five for 131 in the first innings of the fourth Test at Bombay. He was overshadowed by L Sivaramakrishnan against England in 1984-85 but was outstanding against Australia in 1985-86 picking up 15 wickets in the three Tests. This included a match haul of eight wickets in the final game at Sydney when he almost bowled India to victory. Used to long spells (he sent down 75 overs in one innings against Pakistan at Faisalabad in 1984) Yadav bowled 95.3 overs in this match. He again did well against the Australians in the return series in India in 1986-87 and later the same season registered his best innings figures of five for 76 against Sri Lanka at Nagpur. He did reasonably well in what turned out to be his last series, against Pakistan later in the season and in his penultimate Test took his 100th wicket.
Since retiring, Yadav has been prominent in Hyderabad cricket administration.
