In a thrilling cricketing spectacle at Hove, Leicestershire’s audacious run chase came agonizingly close to etching its name in history as their greatest ever. Falling just 15 runs short of the monumental target of 499, the team’s valiant effort was a testament to their determination. Colin Ackermann (136) and Umar Amin (94) played valiant knocks, putting up their all to take their side to a remarkable win. However, it was Unadkat who stole the spotlight as the unexpected hero of this cricketing fairytale. The Indian pacer’s remarkable performance, snaring six crucial wickets, including the final four in a breathtaking span of 31 balls, ultimately proved to be the pivotal factor in Sussex’s victory. Notably, his scalps included the resilient contributions of Tom Scriven (78) and Ben Cox (58), who had taken Leicestershire within touching distance of their dream victory.
It’s not only Unadkat making an impact in English county cricket but also Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who, after being omitted from the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 squad of India, is currently representing Kent Cricket club for three County championship games.
