Jaydev Unadkat had a wonderful stint with the Pune outfit, as he took 24 wickets at an economy of 7.02 and guided them to the finals where they narrowly lost to the Mumbai Indians by just one run.

Due to his impressive run in the tenth edition, he was bought for a staggering INR 11.5 crore by the Rajasthan Royals at this year's auction. In 15 matches for the Royals, Unadkat took 11 wickets at an economy of 9.65.

A lot was expected from the left-arm pacer who is known for his cutters, swing and toe-crushers after he being bought for such a huge amount.

Unfortunately, he failed to replicate his last season's performance for the Royals. Maybe the pressure of the enormous price tag and the expectations of the management have weighed down on him.
