The man in charge of Team India back then was Gary Kirsten and Unadkat has now been reunited with the South African coach at Delhi Daredevils this season. "I was just 18 years of age when I was making my Test debut. I still remember what Gary told me on the first day. He said it's a privilege to play for the country at such a young age and I should cherish this opportunity. Kirsten made me feel at ease inside the Indian dressing room," Unadkat told TOI on Saturday.
The left-arm seamer from Saurashtra hasn't played another Test match since then.
Kirsten took charge of the Daredevils this season and Unadkat believes he is like a 'elder brother' for the players. "I don't see much difference in Kirsten's training methods since his time in the Indian team. I am sure it'll be a new experience for him with such a big squad under him. But as a person he remains the same, like an elder brother," he said.
Unadkat is the leading wicket-taker for the Daredevils this season with six scalps in the four games he has played so far and credits Kirsten for his success. "I rate Gary very highly as a coach. He has been guiding and motivating me ever since we met. The best things about him is that he never goes beyond a limit," he said.
One of the areas he is looking to improve with the Daredevils is bowling at the death. "We have been working at plans to bowl at the death, practising our slower balls and yorkers. But sometimes the execution isn't right and the plans in our mind don't quite click on the field. I hope we can change the trend in the next few games at home," the 22-year-old seamer said.
