The 29-year-old was in his hometown of Rajkot before leaving for the resumption of the season in UAE, and expressed his thoughts on a variety of topics including the first phase of the tournament which was held in India.
While remaining fit has been a requirement, Unadkat has taken time out to pursue another vocation, which is learning guitar.

Jaydev Unadkat, who is known more for his IPL riches, claimed 67 wickets which is the most for any pacer in the Ranji Trophy surpassing Dooda Ganesh.

Unadkat was at his very best in the just concluded Ranji Trophy season and claimed 67 wickets at 13.23, including match-winning spells on the last day of both the semifinal and the final, respectively.
