In the high-octane clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Jaydev Unadkat showcased a moment of brilliance that left cricket enthusiasts in awe. With RCB chasing a mammoth target of 286 runs, Unadkat’s smart play turned the tide in SRH’s favour.

RCB seemed to be in the driver’s seat with Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis steering the innings confidently. However, Jaydev Unadkat’s clever manoeuvre altered the course of the game. In the eighth over, after bowling a series of slower deliveries, Unadkat deceived du Plessis with an off-cutter. As du Plessis played the ball back towards him, Unadkat swiftly stretched his right hand, redirecting the ball towards the non-striker’s end.

Meanwhile, Will Jacks, at the non-striker’s end, had ventured out for a run. With Jaydev Unadkat’s agile move, Jacks found himself stranded mid-pitch, unable to make it back in time. The ball crashed into the stumps, sending Jacks packing and providing SRH with a crucial breakthrough.
