Outstanding, magnificent, scintillating. You can use all the words in the dictionary but won’t be able to fully l justify the brilliant performance by Jayadev Unadkat in this Ranji Trophy (2019-20) season. Unadkat was on fire from the moment he bowled his first delivery in the tournament and was the prime reason for Saurashtra’s maiden Ranji Trophy Title triumph. 67 wickets in 10 games speak the volume of his performance in this Ranji season. He ended the season just a wicket behind Ashutosh Aman’s record 68 wickets in a Ranji season.
