IPL 2020: 5 Indian players who could go unsold this season

The 2020 IPL Auction is just two months away.

#1 Jaydev Unadkat

Jaydev Unadkat (Rajasthan Royals in 2019)

Known as the Porbandar Express, Jaydev Unadkat has represented six franchises in 12 years of IPL. This lanky left-arm pacer is known for swinging the ball in the initial overs and getting some cheap wickets at the death.

Unadkat was first noticed by Wasim Akram with Kolkata Knight Riders. Later on he moved to Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils as well.

Unadkat's most memorable season came in 2017 with the Rising Pune Supergiant, where he took 24 wickets in 12 matches at a decent economy of 7.06. His efforts were vital in RPS finishing as runners-up that season.

Unadkat became the most expensive player next season, sold to Rajasthan Royals at Rs. 11.5 crore. But the price tag put immense pressure on him as he could only manage 11 wickets in 15 matches at a poor average of 44.18.

RR showed confidence in Unadkat yet again in 2019, but he couldn't do any justice to his price tag with just 10 wickets in 11 matches. He hasn't been able to bring his domestic form into IPL, because of which he could be in line to remain unsold at the 2020 auction.
