The Saurashtra left-arm speedster Jaydev Unadkat was a late inclusion in India’s Test squad for the Bangladesh series. It was Unadkat’s just second call-up to the Test squad, which came after 12 long years. He made his Test debut in the first Test of the 2010-11 tour of South Africa, where he went wicketless and conceded 101 runs in 26 overs.

Unadkat was unavailable for the first Test against Bangladesh as he was stuck in Rajkot and didn’t receive his visa papers in time. However, he reached Bangladesh way ahead of the commencement of the second Test match and made himself available for selection.

India National Cricket Team lost the toss in the second Test against Bangladesh that got underway on Thursday, December 22, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka and were asked to bowl first. They made a surprising change to the playing XI by dropping last game’s Player of the Match, Kuldeep Yadav, and including Jaydev Unadkat.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old Saurashtra left-arm pacer bowled brilliant lines and length in the first session and was generating good bounce. On the 5th ball of the 15th over, he finally got the reward for bowling good lengths as he dismissed the 24-year-old Zakir with a back-of-a-length delivery just outside off-stump.
