With a six-for, Jaydev Unadkat directs an exciting Sussex victory.

At the County Ground in Hove, Sussex defeated Leicestershire by a margin of 15 runs to move one step closer to their goal of promotion to Division One of the County Championship. When Sussex was given the opportunity to bat first, they piled up 262 points in the first innings and bowled out the opposition for just 108. In the second innings, Sussex, headed by Cheteshwar Pujara, declared at 344/9 to give Leicestershire an impossible 499-run goal.

He was battling a painful ankle, but his tenacity allowed him to endure it. Sussex, who are presently ranked third on the points table behind Durham and Worcestershire, are still in the running for promotion thanks to the 15-run victory.

Before Jaydev Unadkat went through the lower order to end with figures of 6/94 in 32.4 overs, the opposition was chasing at 453/6.

Many people praised Unadkat for his incredible spell with the ancient ball. The 31-year-old bowler, who finished with figures of 3/23 in 12.4 overs, bowled fiercely in the first innings. In his home debut for Sussex, the left-arm pacer contributed to the team’s lone victory thus far in the league. Cheteshwar Pujara,, a teammate of Jaydev Unadkat from Saurashtra, did not have a standout season with the bat as he was dismissed for scores of 26 and 23, respectively, in the two innings.

A few crucial matches are coming up for Sussex to finish their season. To face Derbyshire, they will go to Derby. The game will take place from September 19 to 22. After this match, Pujara and company will head back to their base to host Gloucestershire in their final match of the year. On September 26, this game will get underway. They will also closely monitor the September 19 encounter between Durham and Worcestershire.
