Yohannan emerged from Kerala's domestic cricket setup at a time when the state was not a regular contributor of players to the national side. He was among the early graduates associated with the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, an institution that has trained several Indian fast bowlers.
Yohannan played first-class and List A cricket for Kerala in the Indian domestic circuit, appearing in the Ranji Trophy and other national tournaments organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
He was selected to represent the India national cricket team, playing in both Test matches and One Day Internationals. His call-up made him one of the few cricketers from Kerala to have played Test cricket for India.
Yohannan's selection for India was notable for Kerala cricket, contributing to the state's representation at the highest level of the sport. His progression from a regional side to international cricket is often cited in discussions about the development pathway for fast bowlers in India through specialised academies.
