Unadkat finds Royal deal surreal

New Delhi, January 28

Overwhelmed by a “surreal” bid, it took Jaydev Unadkat some time to believe that franchises were willing to break a bank to grab him. “When my name came up for biding, I was hooked to live streaming for the next 15 minutes and found it surreal. The entire team stopped training to watch my bidding,” said Unadkat, who had been training with his with his Saurashtra teammates in Rajkot for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. He became the costliest Indian player at the auction when Rajasthan Royals shelled out with Rs 11.5 for him. 

The 26-year-old Saurashtra left-arm seamer has played one Test, seven ODIs and four T20Is for India. In the last one year, he has done very well in the shortest format.

He did not expect franchises to splurge on a fast bowler since Rs 10 crore-plus deals have always been offered to batsmen or all-rounder. “Honestly, I did not have any amount in mind. The past two years have been pretty good for me and after last year’s IPL (24 wickets), I expected a good bid. But yes, I was really amazed at the kind of bidding that happened. It is indeed surprising for me that franchises were ready to pay so much for a fast bowler,” said Unadkat.

“I am overwhelmed but taking it in a happy way. I am expected to give my best for my franchise and will strive to do that.” — PTI
