Jaydev Unadkat Offers Clarification on Misquoted ‘You are ONLY Given a Car & a Flat’ Statement

Indian left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat recently addressed a misquotation of his statements from a recent interview that was shared by an X user on social media. The 32-year-old cricketer explained how he had to manage his daily chores while playing county cricket in the UK, unlike in India where players often receive extensive support.

However, the X user distorted Unadkat’s comments, making it seem as though the pacer was complaining about receiving privileges without enduring any hardships. This misinterpretation led to criticism from fans on social media, prompting Unadkat to respond and clarify the situation.

Here is Unadkat’s actual statement in the interview with TOI:

“When we are playing in India, we have liaison officers who take care of everything. But while playing county cricket in the UK, while you are given a flat to stay in and a car to drive around, you have to take care of everything else on your own. From living on my own to making my breakfast and doing my laundry, staying there taught me to be self-dependent.”

He added:

“It’s a different experience altogether and I enjoyed every bit of it. I like to cook and enjoy the process. While I can’t make the regular roti-sabji, I love to experiment in the kitchen and make some interesting dishes.”

Despite this clear explanation, the X user’s post misled several fans:

“While playing county cricket in UK, you have to take care of everything on your own. From living on my own to making my breakfast and doing my laundry, staying there taught me to be self-dependent. It’s a different experience altogether. You are only given a flat to stay in and a car to drive around,” posted the X user.

In response, Unadkat took to his X handle to set the record straight, emphasizing the importance of accurate representation of his words.
