Jab baat red-ball cricket ki aati hai, toh Indian fast bowlers ka dabdaba poori duniya mein dikhta hai. Is baar England ki mitti par Jaydev Unadkat ne apni gazi se wo tufan laya ki Hampshire ki team tas-mas ho gayi. County Championship mein Sussex ne apni pakad itni mazboot kar li hai ki ab jeet sirf ek rasmiyat nazar aa rahi hai.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Khel ke doosre din Jaydev Unadkat ne wahi kiya jiske liye wo jane jate hain: Masterclass in swing and precision. Hampshire ki batting line-up ko Unadkat ne apni ungliyon par nachaya aur 5 wickets jhatke. Unki is lethal bowling ki wajah se Hampshire ki poori team sirf 128 runs par dher ho gayi. Unadkat ne apne career ka 25th first-class five-for poora kiya, jo unki consistency aur class ka saboot hai. Ek waqt par toh aisa laga ki stumps nahi, balki khilauna toot rahe hain, jab Unadkat ne Kyle Abbott ka leg stump cartwheeling style mein ukhad diya.
Bowling ke baad bari thi batting mein dominance dikhane ki. Tom Haines ne maurche ko sambhala aur anchor ka role play karte hue Sussex ko ek badi lead dila di. Haines ne poore din dharshayi batting ki aur din khatam hone tak 99 runs par unbeaten rahe. Halanki wo apne 16th first-class hundred se sirf 1 run door hain, lekin unki is innings ne Hampshire ko match se bilkul bahar kar diya hai. Sussex ki kul lead ab 332 runs ki ho chuki hai, aur unka score 216 for 5 hai.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India ke domestic legend Jaydev Unadkat ne ek baar phir prove kar diya hai ki unka tajurba kisi bhi batting line-up ko tabah karne ke liye kaafi hai. English conditions mein ball ko baat karwana har kisi ke bas ki baat nahi hoti, lekin Unadkat ne ise aasan bana diya. Hampshire ki team jo pehle hi relegation se joojh rahi hai, unke paas Sussex ki is pace aur Haines ki batting ka koi jawab nahi tha. Sussex is cruising towards a dominant victory and it is only a matter of time before they wrap this up.
