Born in Porbandar, Gujarat, Unadkat made his international debut in 2010 and has since become known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and his knack for picking up crucial wickets. His Test career has been particularly impressive, where he has taken 52 wickets in 15 matches at an excellent average of 20.96, showcasing his effectiveness in the longer format. Unadkat has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League, where his experience across 121 T20 matches has yielded 124 wickets.
