Jaydev Unadkat Gets A Hatrick: Dream run continues for Jaydev Unadkat, as he picked a hatrick against Delhi in Ranji Trophy 2023. Thanks to his dream spell against Delhi in Ranji, Unadkat became the first bowler to bag a hatrick in Ranji Trophy. In his dream spell, Saurashtra captain Unadkat dismissed Dhruv Shorey, Vaibhav Rawal, and Yash Dhull on the match’s third, fourth, and fifth deliveries. After winning the toss, Delhi opted to bat first, the Delhi batting line-up looked lethal, but thanks to Unadkat’s magical spells, Saurashtra are now on the upper hand of the game.
The previous earliest hat-trick in a game was by Karnataka fast bowler Vinay Kumar, whose hat-trick against Mumbai in the 2017–2018 quarterfinal was spread across the first and third overs. This was the first first-over hatrick in Ranji Trophy history.
Unadkat added two more dismissals by the end of his second over to complete his 21st five-wicket haul in first-class cricket. Delhi struggled at 5 for 6 when he trapped Lalit Yadav lbw for a four-ball duck. For Saurashtra to advance to the knockout rounds, the game is crucial. With one victory and two ties after three games, they are currently third in Group B with 12 points. Currently, Mumbai and Maharashtra are ranked first and second, respectively.

Both as a bowler and captain, Unadkat is in the midst of an incredible run. He took the most wickets for Saurashtra last month as they won the Vijay Hazare Trophy, taking 19 wickets in 10 games for an economy of 3.33. Unadkat then picked up his first Test wicket and finished the game with three kills as India won the series in Bangladesh 2-0 after earning a Test recall in Mirpur.
