Dattatraya Gajanan "Dattu" Phadkar pronunciationⓘ (12 December 1925 – 17 March 1985) was an all-rounder who represented India in Test cricket.

Phadkar was an attacking middle order batsman, a medium pace bowler who could swing the ball both ways and extract life from the wicket, and usually fielded in the slips.

Promoted to No.6, he scored 123 at Adelaide and added a record 188 for the sixth wicket with Vijay Hazare.

But his efforts at bowling bouncers in this match led to the West Indian bowlers reacting in kind and the defeat of India.

In the exciting last Test where India needed 361 and ended up six runs short, Phadkar hit 37 not out.

Suhas Phadkar, Dattu's brother's son, later played cricket for Vidarbha and captained the team in the 1980s.
