Jaydev Unadkat, an experienced left-arm pacer who thrives on variations, has been a consistent presence in the TATA IPL since 2010. Unadkat, who has 483 first-class wickets to his name, made his debut with KKR, before playing for multiple franchises, including his current team SRH. Unadkat’s best came in 2017 when he claimed 24 wickets in the season at an average of 13.41 runs per wicket. His brilliant run included his second-best IPL figures (5/30) and his maiden IPL hat-trick. It led to Unadkat earning an INR 11.5 Crore deal with RR in 2018. Returning to SRH after stints with Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, Unadkat pouched 11 wickets in the 2025 season at an average of 15.90. Retained for TATA IPL 2026, the 34-year-old would have the extra responsibility of lifting SRH’s bowling, which is the weaker suit of their squad. Having also represented India across formats, since first making his international debut in Tests in 2010, Unadkat’s experience will be vital for SRH.
