The fast bowler will be available to lead his home side Saurashtra in the summit clash against Bengal, which starts on February 17 in Kolkata.

Though Unadkat has only played three games for his home side, he has been successful in scalping 17 wickets at an average of 13.64.



His brilliant show was unleashed against Delhi in the Group Stage game when he took a hat-trick in the first over of the match and went on to pick his career-best figures of 8 for 39. The pacer also contributed with a sublime 70 runs from his bat in that game, which Saurashtra won by an innings and 214 runs.
