🏏 Batting: right hand | 🎯 Bowling: left arm fast
A veteran left-arm seamer and domestic legend who has led Saurashtra to multiple Ranji Trophy titles and remains a cunning operator in the IPL.
Jaydev Unadkat continues to be a seasoned campaigner in IPL 2026, providing veteran leadership to the Sunrisers Hyderabad pace attack. A domestic giant for Saurashtra, Unadkat is celebrated for his tactical intelligence and an array of slower balls that make him a specialized T20 specialist in subcontinental conditions. His 2026 campaign has seen him reach the milestone of 115+ IPL wickets, maintaining a sharp strike rate. Known for his ability to handle pressure in the death overs, Unadkat’s experience has been vital in mentoring the younger SRH pacers.
