IPL 2018: Performance report of 5 most expensive buys after week 1 of IPL XI

#2 Jaydev Unadkat (Rajasthan Royals)

Unadkat has not been effective in the first two games

Not too many eyebrows were raised when Rajasthan Royals bid Rs 11.5 crores for Jaydev Unadkat because the left-arm pacer from Porbandar had a great season last year.

Two games into this season, the question marks have started pouring in. Unadkat received some thrashing in the first game against Hyderabad, where he conceded 28 runs in three overs.

Since Dhawan thrashed every other Rajasthan bowler in that game, we can overlook his poor performance.

However, his spell in the second encounter against Delhi Daredevils wasn't something special either.

In a rain-curtailed match, Unadkat conceded 24 runs in two overs. Though he picked up the important wicket of Rishabh Pant, that alone doesn't justify his price tag.
