Team India will be traveling to Sri Lanka for three ODIs and as many T20Is with the first ODI scheduled to be played on July 13 which will be followed by the T20 matches. The Indian selectors included a lot of youngsters in the squad, the pace sensation, Jaydev Unadkat wasn’t considered to be added to the squad. The 29-year-old was quick to react to this as he took to social media to express the same.
Jaydev Unadkat expressed that he was quite hopeful of being selected and was disappointed with himself from the result. He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2019-20 Ranji season. Despite being disappointed, Uandkat expects himself to make a stronger comeback. He has heard enough during his initial days, about his style, living conditions, but maturity enabled him to brave past these successfully.

Going on, Jaydev Unadkat said that there is no time to think and he will rather focus on rising up and toil even harder. Hence to keep himself away from distractions that could deviate him from his goal, he has chosen to take an indefinite break from social media.
