Team For Sri Lanka: Gaikwad, Unadkat Cases Show IPL Performance Counts More

By IANS News June 11, 2021 • 20:24 PM View: 1576

Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat is only 29 and already deemed over-the-hill after he failed to find a spot in the national squad for next month's white-ball series in Sri Lanka after having missed the bus to England last month for India's Test tour.

Unadkat's domestic performances over the last couple of years, it seems, held no weight as his unspectacular performance in Indian Premier League (IPL) kept him out. He picked four wickets each in IPL 2020 (seven games) and IPL 2021 (four games).
