The year 2012 was very good for Unmukt, but after that, he failed on the big stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite his good performance in domestic cricket, he failed to make a place in Team India, after which he decided to leave India and shift to America. Let us tell you that BCCI does not allow its players to take part in any other foreign T20 league other than IPL.
