On March 13, Jaydev Unadkat led Saurashtra to their first-ever Ranji Trophy title on the count of a first-innings lead against Bengal. Cheteshwar Pujara starred with the bat by scoring a patient 66 while the pacer picked two wickets in Bengal’s first innings. During the tournament, Pujara also took a wicket in one of the matches towards the end of the day's play and the video went viral. Pujara conceded no runs and it was the only time that he bowled throughout the tournament, which prompted Unadkat's troll.
