So now he has given a big reaction remembering this. It is worth noting that after retiring completely from Indian cricket in the year 2021, Unmukt shifted to USA in search of better opportunities.

Unmukt further said- As a player, after losing everything at home in India, it is never easy to achieve this one goal, which was bothering me for the last three years, but it could not happen. So, it is difficult. I will not say what happened right now, but it was difficult. For some time I could not perform at my best.
