#7 Rajasthan Royals - Jaydev Unadkat

Can Unadkat deliver this year ?

Jaydev Unadkat had a forgettable IPL 2018 where, despite being the most expensive player at the auction, he picked up just 11 wickets in 15 matches while giving away runs at a high economy of 9.65. The Royals released him ahead of the 2019 IPL auction but bought him back at a staggering amount of 8.40 crore.

This shows the faith that the Royals' team management has in the Saurashtra pacer and they do have a reason for the faith shown. Unadkat was instrumental in the Rising Pune Supergiant's journey to the finals in IPL 2017.

The left-arm seamer is also one of the most experienced pacers in the domestic circuit and his years of experience of playing in Indian conditions will be key to the Royals' chances in IPL 2019. Also, Unadkat has been in rich vein of form playing for his domestic side Saurashtra as he took 16 wickets in just 8 Vijay Hazare matches in 2018.
