Jaydev Unadkat sent the stump cartwheeling with a peach of a delivery in the County Championship Division Two match between Sussex and Middlesex in Hove on Day 3 (Saturday, September 28). As a result, Max Holden departed for 24 runs off 23 balls.

The dismissal came in the 15th over of Middlesex’s first innings. Unadkat bowled a full-length ball on the stumps. The left-handed batter failed to put the ball down in time as it beat the outside edge to crash onto the stumps. The off-stump went cartwheeling for 3-4 yards.

Sharing the video on X, Sussex’s official handle wrote:

“Jaydev sends the stumps cartwheeling.”

For the unversed, Jaydev Unadkat has been exceptional for Sussex in the ongoing edition of the tournament. The left-arm pacer has bagged 20 wickets in four matches, including two four-wicket hauls against Glamorgan and Gloucestershire.

In internationals, Unadkat has played four Tests for India, picking up three wickets. The 32-year-old, however, has scalped 423 wickets in 118 first-class matches.

Sussex Head coach Paul Farbrace also expressed his delight at Unadkat’s return. He said:

"We are all delighted that Jaydev is returning to the 1st Central County Ground for the final five championship matches of the coming season. Jaydev lived up to the expectation that not only would he show his class on the field, but he would also be a fantastic person and be part of what we are all trying to achieve. Jaydev is a lovely guy who did everything he could to help our players and share his fantastic knowledge.”

Unadkat had bagged 11 wickets in three games for Sussex in the 2023 season.
