In a somber moment for the cricketing world, former Indian spinner Dilip Doshi has passed away at the age of 77. One of India's most skilled left-arm orthodox bowlers, Doshi made a name for himself during the 1980s with his impeccable control and classical bowling style. His demise marks the end of an era that shaped India’s spin bowling tradition.
Remembering a Cricketing Legend: Dilip Doshi
Born on December 22, 1947, Dilip Rasiklal Doshi debuted in international cricket at the relatively late age of 30. Despite this, he quickly made an impact in Test cricket, securing 114 wickets in 33 matches between 1979 and 1983. His late debut never hampered his success — in fact, he became one of only a few bowlers to have taken over 100 Test wickets after debuting post-30.
Doshi was a unique talent in Indian cricket. He didn’t rely on exaggerated spin but on guile, bounce, and consistency. His time with Nottinghamshire in English county cricket also helped him master the craft under different conditions. As a testament to his dedication, he took 898 wickets in first-class cricket at an average of just 26.58 — a remarkable feat.
