IPL 2018: Stars in 2017, failures this season

#3 Jaydev Unadkat

Unadkat's poor form has resulted in Rajasthan Royals' inconsistent run in IPL 2018

Jaydev Unadkat became the most expensive Indian player when he was bought by Rajasthan Royals at the price of 11.5 crores.

Unadkat, who was one of the main reasons for Rising Pune Supergiant reaching the IPL final last year, was expected to be Rajasthan Royals' go-to bowler this season.

However, Unadkat is going through a disastrous season. While he took 24 wickets in 12 matches last season, he had taken only 11 wickets in the 14 matches in 2018 so far.

The thing that has hurt Royals the most is the drastic change in the economy rate, which has increased from last year's 7.02 to 9.37 this year.

Unadkat's lacklustre performance is a prime reason for Royals inconsistent show this year.
