Sadanand Viswanath (Kannada: ಸದಾನಂದ ವಿಶ್ವನಾಥ್) pronunciationⓘ (born 28 November 1962, Bangalore, Karnataka) is a former Indian cricketer who played in 3 Tests and 22 ODIs, from 1985 to 1988.
Sadanand was first selected in the Indian team which won the World Championship of Cricket tournament in Australia and the Rothmans Cup in Sharjah days later, in 1985.
The thumping triumphs, where India did not lose a single match, validated its claim as the world's best ODI team.
[citation needed] An aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman, Vishwanath is remembered for a hard six he hit out of Bangalore's Chinnaswamy stadium against Allan Border's Australians.
Sadanand now runs his private cricket coaching academy for young boys in Kundalahalli, Bangalore and also follows the game closely as an umpire in India's domestic championship for the Ranji Trophy.
