Actually, the team management has decided to release Unadkat because his home team Saurashtra has made it to the finals of Ranji Trophy. The chances of Unadkat playing in the second Test are very less. In such a situation, the team released him from the team to give his services to Saurashtra. Saurashtra defeated Karnataka on Saturday itself to make it to the finals. Under the captaincy of Unadkat, this team won the Ranji Trophy title. Last to last season, Saurashtra was successful in becoming the winner and defeated Bengal. This time also this team will face Bengal.
The BCCI issued a statement, “The All India Senior Selection Committee, in consultation with the Indian team management, has decided to release Jaydev Unadkat from the team. Jaydev Unadkat will join the Saurashtra team that has made it to the finals of the Ranji Trophy. This team will play the final against Bengal at the Eden Gardens Stadium from February 16.

Amazing work done under the captaincy of Unadkat
Earlier, Saurashtra made it to the final of Ranji Trophy in the 2019-20 season and defeated Bengal under the captaincy of Undakat. This time Bengal would like to avenge that defeat. Saurashtra has made it to the finals of the Ranji Trophy five times in the last 10 years. This time again she will try to win this title. Unadkat can captain Saurashtra in the final.
