Jaydev Unadkat, IPL's most expensive Indian in the auctions this year, felt the pressure of not being an international regular and was toyed with, in the first game. Apart from the wicket of Andile Phehlukhwayo, Unadkat failed to fire, going for 33 runs in his allotted quota of four overs.
With a reputation to keep intact now, after his IPL 2017 performances and the possibility of sneaking into the side as they develop their T20I team, Unadkat wouldn't want to let go of the opportunities he gets before the IPL.
Kuldeep Yadav was not part of the first T20I, but was the highest wicket-taker in the ODI series that preceded, picking up 17 wickets from six games. His clever variations are difficult to read even for the best of batsmen, and he can be a useful option for the game at Centurion.
