His heroices with the ball directly played a part in helping Sussex win the Division Two title.
"When I came to Hove last year, I wasn't sure what was on offer in the County Championship and how would I adapt to it. But after a few games now, I can definitely say Hove is my home away from home and Good Old Sussex by The Sea has my heart," Unadkat was quoted as saying in a release by the team.
Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace opened up about the quality that he offers to the team both as a player and as a person.
"Everyone at Hove is very pleased and excited that Jaydev [Unadkat] has signed a two-year extension and will be returning to the Club for the next two seasons," he said.

Unadkat is currently leading Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy, which began on Friday. Notably, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Unadkat had an underwhelming season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, In 11 matches he managed to claim 8 wickets at an economy of 10.24. (ANI)
