Nidahas Trophy 2018: India vs Bangladesh, 2nd match, 5 talking points

#3 Unadkat redeems himself but economy remains a concern

Unadkat picked up three wickets but conceded at a rate of 9.5

Jaydev Unadkat was brought into the Indian T20 side after a slew of good performances in the IPL where his slow balls at the death and economy proved to be the exact qualities India needed in their third seamer. Although he took to T20Is like fish to water, of late, Unadkat seems to be having a problem with his economy.

In his last four T20 games, Unadkat has gone at a rate of 8.25,11.45, 11. 66, and 9.50 respectively. He remains a handy death bowler but has a tendency to gift too many runs upfront which does not auger well considering that Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, when available, constitute pretty good death bowlers too. India might want to stick to a better new ball bowler if Unadkat continues to deliver only at the death.
