Young Mumbai all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has been picked as a replacement for injured seamer Jaydev Unadkat in Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL franchise said on Thursday. The replacement comes more than two weeks after Unadkat was ruled out of the remainder of the IPL because of a left-shoulder injury, which he sustained while training in the nets. Suryansh joins LSG for Rs 20 lakh, the franchise informed.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad added another win to their kitty in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 but not before a stunning final over nearly took Punjab Kings home on Tuesday. The Sunrisers were tasked with the project of defending 29 runs in the final over, and it was Jaydev Unadkat that skipper Pat Cummins handed the ball to complete the challenge. The start of the over gave PBKS hope but scoring 29 runs in the final over was just too big a task to be accomplished at the end.
Haryana humbled defending champions Saurashtra in their own backyard by four wickets in a low-scoring Ranji Trophy game in Rajkot on Sunday. Resuming day three at 148 for six, Saurashtra stretched their second innings to 220 all out with the help of skipper Jaydev Unadkat (23) and Parth Bhut (47), setting a 166-run target for Haryana. Haryana did experience some anxious moments before getting home in the final session, having lost three quick wickets. Ashok Menaria (58 not out) anchored the chase with Rahul Tewatia (10 not out) staying with him at the other end.
Vijay Hazare Trophy gets underway on Thursday, with defending champions Saurashtra taking on Kerala at the KSCA Cricket Ground in Alur. Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara will be under the spotlight along with skipper Jaydev Unadkat, who was Saurashtra's highest wicket-taker last season. Samarth Vyas, the side's highest run-scorer last season, and wicketkeeper-batter Harvik Desai, the team's second-highest run-getter during their campaign in 2022-23 season, will also be closely watched. Last season's runners-up Maharashtra will get their campaign underway versus Jharkhand in Jaipur.
Indian cricket team fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat was extremely critical of Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews over the 'Timed Out' controversy in Cricket World Cup 2023. Mathews became the first cricketer ever to be dismissed 'Timed Out' and that led to a massive debate involving the 'spirit of cricket'. Mathews took to social media to give proof that he was able to reach the crease in time but a broken helmet strap did not allow him to take strike. According to an ESPNCricinfo report, umpire Richard Illingworth informed Mathews that he had 30 seconds left when the Sri Lankan batter walked in to bat against Bangladesh.
India seamer Jaydev Unadkat and spinner Jayant Yadav made impressive debuts in the English County circuit, taking five-wicket hauls for Sussex and Middlesex respectively. Unadkat, who could be back in contention for selection in the Indian Test side later this year for the tour of South Africa, took an overall nine wickets for Sussex against Leicestershire to help them win by just 15 runs in a Division Two match.
Left-arm India seamer Jaydev Unadkat will join his Saurashtra teammate Cheteshwar Pujara at Sussex for three games in the County Championship in September. Unadkat played for India in the two-Test series against the West Indies last month. “Jaydev will be available for selection for the games against Durham, Leicestershire and Derbyshire as Sussex look to secure promotion to the first division,” Sussex said in a release. While Pujara has captained Sussex in the previous season, it will be the first County stint for Unadkat, makes it a rare instance for two Indian players representing the same side on English domestic circuit.
The national selection committee will have its task cut out as it would have to choose between Shardul Thakur and Jaydev Unadkat for the extra fast bowler's slot in the 15-member India squad for the World Cup, starting October 5. As per ICC rule, every team has to submit its initial squad of 15 by September 5 but the final submission can be done by September 27, and a country is allowed to make as many changes as possible between the initial and final submission. Interestingly, the Australia series ends on September 27, the day of the final submission.
Team India faced a shocking six-wicket defeat against West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series on Saturday. With the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being rested, the team's captaincy was handed over to Hardik Pandya, who failed to guide the Men in Blue to victory. Asked to bat first, India were bundled out for 181 and later, West Indies chased down the target in just 36.4 overs. In the entire match, the hosts had an upper hand over India but that also could not change the cheerful atmosphere in the visitors' camp.
