Dilip Rasiklal Doshi (pronunciationⓘ; born 22 December 1947) is a former Indian cricketer from Bengal though his origin goes back to Gujarat.
Having waited for so long, he wasted no time making his presence felt: with figures of 6/103 and 2/64 he was India's best bowler in the match.
[2] He continued to perform well in the series and in the final test match at Bombay, he was one of the heroes of an India victory with figures of 5/43 and 3/60.
But perhaps his greatest joy came, when he took 4/92 at Eden Garden, Calcutta, his (adopted) home town, in front of a 70,000 strong crowd.
Doshi is considered one of the worst batsmen in Test cricket history, with a batting average of only 4.60.
[5] Though Doshi made his first-class debut with Saurashtra, he played most of his Ranji Trophy cricket with Bengal.
With a world class left arm spinner readily available, the selectors were reluctant to give the others much chance.
Goel was specially unlucky, in the sense that he was originally selected to make his official Test Debut against WI at Delhi, in 1974–78.
