Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan praised Unadkat and explained the things he did right in the match.
"Brilliant, brilliant by this left-armer. Especially what happened at the auctions. I always believe players don't ask for big money. If he is getting it, it's good for him. Look, when any bowler does well, it makes me really happy," Pathan said.
"Especially the way he bowled today. He used his variations really well, he was trying to hit the ball really, really hard, when he was trying to hit in the middle of the pitch. All the variations were working for him," Pathan added.
"When you get early wickets, it gives you a lot of confidence, and there is no looking afterwards. This spell of his bowling will give him lot of confidence going forward in IPL. It will be really good for Rajasthan Royals," he signed off.
