Unadkat Spearheads Sussex Attack on Dramatic 14-Wicket Day at Hove

Jaydev Unadkat produced a spellbinding display to lead Sussex’s bowling unit on a dramatic day at Hove that saw 14 wickets tumble, putting his side firmly in control of a contest that swung heavily in favour of the bowlers; using his experience and guile to full effect, Unadkat found movement off the seam and in the air, consistently troubling the opposition batters with probing lines and disciplined variations that yielded crucial breakthroughs at regular intervals; his ability to extract assistance from the surface not only unsettled the top order but also created pressure that forced errors down the line, allowing his fellow bowlers to capitalise and share in the spoils; the day’s frenetic action highlighted the bowler-friendly conditions, yet it was Unadkat’s command and composure that stood out, ensuring Sussex maintained control rather than allowing the game to spiral into unpredictability; with the opposition on the back foot after their batting collapse and Sussex’s reply already underway, Unadkat’s efforts gave his team both momentum and belief, marking the day as one where his leadership with the ball set the tone in a match that could prove pivotal for their season’s ambitions.
