Jaydev Unadkat ends 12-year-long wait with belief, skill and a garnish of masala chai and gathiya

The Hindu  

In the course of 12 months, Jaydev Unadkat has led Saurashtra to its second Vijay Hazare Trophy title and the quarterfinals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Indian Test cricket’s shift from the occasional inspired fast-bowling spells overseas to a pace battery that now breathes fire can be neatly tracked over the arc of Unadkat’s career. That’s how we always celebrate when we get some good news, with traditional snacks and piping hot masala chai,” says Unadkat, as Rinny nods in agreement before adding. “But he couldn’t eat a lot because the matches were coming up.” Unadkat displayed openness and honesty in abundance during the interview. Indian cricket’s paradigm may have shifted since a 19-year-old left-arm pacer from Rajkot donned the whites for the first time, but Unadkat, all these years later, continues to keep himself — and us — engaged.
