Profile

Like his Goa team-mate Swapnil Ansodkar in 2008, Shadab Jakati used the IPL to get out of cricketing obscurity. A left-arm orthodox spinner, Jakati got appreciable turn from the South African pitches, and was crucial to Chennai Super Kings' surge in the middle stages of the 2009 tournament. He claimed four-fors in back-to-back games, a remarkable achievement in Twenty20s, to announce himself.

His Twenty20 awakening came after 10 years of first-class cricket, a period during which he managed 1000 runs and 100 wickets. Goa made the semi-finals of the Plate League last season and Jakati was an important bits-and-pieces player in that campaign. He scored 161 runs at 20.12 and took 16 wickets at 31.81.

Given his overall modest record, Jakati was an inspired pick for Chennai. What would have worked in his favour was his economy-rate of 5.8 in India's only domestic Twenty20 competition in 2006.
