Saurashtra skipper Jaydev Unadkat is in the form of his life claiming 65 wickets this Ranji season, breaking records left and right. His performances have spoken for his caliber and elite mentality. Unadkat broke a 21-year-long record previously held by surpassed Dodda Ganesh of 62 wickets in a single season.
With an utmost important final left for the pacer, he stands a chance to surpass Ashutosh Aman’s all-time record registering himself as the highest wicket-taker in a single Ranji trophy season and rewrite the history books. 4 wickets in 2 innings at his home ground is not much of an ask from the in-form bowler, but the Bengal Ranji team will try their best can spoil the mood by stopping the Saurashtra skipper’s red hot form and winning the trophy.

Such strong character and player skills from the left-arm pacer might also provide him a chance to don the Indian Jersey back again. A good IPL season for Jaydev Undakat and Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming IPL season will also force the Indian team selectors to have a look at the Saurashtra pacer and consider calling him up for the national team.

“I believe my chance will come and I will wait for it. Also, age is on my side, I am 28. The way I have performed this season can be the benchmark I can probably set for myself for the rest of my career,” said the left-arm Saurashtra skipper.
He continues by adding “It means a lot not because I have so many wickets, but because I have been able to win games for my side,” Unadkat explained. “If I have to be right up there in the bowling group we have in our country, then I need to do what no one else has done. I think I am there in terms of confidence, experience, and fitness.”
With Saurashtra back in the finals for the 4th time in the last eight years, Unadkat will try his best to win the title for his team when Saurashtra meets Bengal in the final beginning on March 9 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
