If not for Bhuvneshwar Kumar resting, Unadkat wouldn't even have made it to the T20I side. But having got an opportunity, the Rising Pune Supergiant left-armer, who finished as the second highest wicket-taker in the 2017 IPL, grabbed it with both hands. He has been amongst the wickets while also being economical.

On Sunday, the seamer got rid of Niroshan Dickwella early on, this time befuddling the southpaw with a pacy length delivery. Expecting a slower ball, Dickwella was completely fooled. He then went about dismantling Upul Tharanga over whom he has had an upper hand right through the series, fooling him with a slower delivery yet again and reducing Lanka to 18/3.
