Mumbai: Saurashtra captain Jaidev Unadkat has given a curious reminder to the selectors after missing out on a place in the squad for the Twenty20 series against New Zealand. Apart from the Twenty20 series against New Zealand, Unadkat was not included in the Indian A squad for the tour of South Africa. Following this, Unadkat shared his video on Twitter.
Unadkat shared a video of his half-century performance for Saurashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy yesterday. Unadkat shared the video with the caption ‘Here is another bowler who can bat’.
Unadkat posted a video of himself posing as a ‘pace bowling all-rounder’ after Indian pace bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya lost his place in the team.
Unadkat is the captain of Saurashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Unadkat was crushed in the match against Hyderabad last day. Unadkat scored 58 off 32 balls against Mohammad Siraj, who was named in the squad for the Test series against New Zealand. Unadkat scored 58 runs with three sixes and six fours.
Saurashtra lost the toss and opted to bat, scoring 173 for eight in the allotted 20 overs. Apart from Unadkat, Prerak Mankad’s 71 off 46 balls gave Saurashtra the lead. In reply, skipper Tanmay Agarwal (55 off 35 balls) shone as Hyderabad reached the target with three balls to spare.
