The first match of the 2019 Deodhar Trophy took place at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi between India A and India B. Parthiv Patel led India B cruised past Hanuma Vihari’s India A by 108 runs.
After asked to bat first, India B posted a mammoth total of 302/6 in 50 overs, thanks to centuries fr🅠om Ruturaj Gaikwad (113) and Baba 𓆏Aparajith (101).
In reply, India A never looked in the chase, and when things were looking dull, a schoolboy error inv💝olving Jaydev Unadkat took place, which left everyone in splits.
The incident happened in the 43rd over of the second innings when the result of the match was inconsequential. India A was struggling at 176/7 with Unadkat on strike to face the fifth ball of Shahbaz Nadeem’s over. The 28-year-old tailender came down the track to play the delivery and pushed the ball to the cover fielder.
However, during all the action, Un🌺adkat slipped, and after completing his shot, he kept staring at the spot where the b✅all was pitched. Hilariously, Unadkat forgot to go back to the crease, and the alert Kedar Jadhav at covers fired the throw towards wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel, who dislodged the bails in a flash.
Unadkat had no idea what panned out in a split second ꦐand had to walk back to the pavilion after scoring only a solitary run off seven balls.
