Dilip Balwant Vengsarkarpronunciation (born 6 April 1956) is a former Indiancricketer and a cricket administrator. He was considered to have a very gooddrive. Along withSunil Gavaskar andGundappa Viswanath, he was a key player in the Indian batting line up in the late 70s and early 80s. He was a member of the Indian team that won the1983 Cricket World Cup. Vengsarkar also led the national side to1988 Asia Cup victory. He was also a part of the Indian squad which won the 1985World Championship of Cricket. He went on to play until 1992.

At the pinnacle of his career, Vengsarkar was rated as the best batsman in the Coopers and Lybrand rating (a predecessor of the PWC ratings) and he held the number one slot for 21 months until 2 March 1989.[1] In 2014, he received theC. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honour conferred byBCCI on a former player.[2]

Career

[edit]
Vengsarkar's career batting performance

Vengsarkar made his international cricket debut against New Zealand atAuckland in 1975–76 as an opening batsman. India won this Test convincingly, but he did not have much success. Later on he usually batted in the No.3 or No.4 position.

He played a memorable inning in 1979 against Asif Iqbal's Pakistan team in the 2nd Test at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi. Requiring 390 to win on the final day, he led India's chase getting the team very close to a victory. India ended up with 364 for 6, just 26 runs short of what would have been a remarkable win. WithYashpal Sharma,Kapil Dev andRoger Binny back to the pavilion after the Tea break, Vengsarkar saw himself running out of partners and decided to play the last few overs for a draw. He remained unbeaten on 146.

During the 1978–79 Test Series in India against the West Indies, he was involved in a partnership of over 300 runs withSunil Gavaskar at Calcutta, with both batsman scoring centuries.

He was a member of the1983 World Champion's team. He had a productive run of scores between 1985 and 1987, where he scored centuries againstPakistan, Australia, England,West Indies andSri Lanka, many of them in successive games.

While the West Indies pacemen dominated the cricket world, Dilip Vengsarkar was one of the few batsmen who was successful against them, and scored 6 centuries against the likes ofMalcolm Marshall,Michael Holding andAndy Roberts.

He is currently team mentor and coach for Telugu Warrior team in the Celebrity Cricket League Season 5.[3]

He also scored a century atLord's in 1986, thus scoring consecutiveTest match centuries at Lord's in three matches.

Captaincy

[edit]

Vengsarkar took over the captaincy fromKapil Dev after the1987 Cricket World Cup, despite criticism that he missed the semi-final match due to a stomach disorder resulting from a seafood allergy. Although he started with two centuries in his first series as captain, his captaincy period was turbulent and he lost the job following a disastrous tour of the West Indies in early 1989 and a stand-off with theBoard of Control for Cricket in India.

After retiring, Vengsarkar started the Elf-Vengsarkar Academy in 1995.[6] He became the vice-president of the Mumbai Cricket Association in 2003.[7] Although, he was the front runner for the post of theChairman, Selection Committee,[when?] Dilip opted out because of his policy against zonal representation.[clarification needed][8] He was appointed the Chairman of theTalent Resource Development Wing when it was created in 2002 to develop cricket talent within the country.[9]Presently he is Chief Adviser of the Cricket Association of Telangana (CAT).[10]

In March 2006, the BCCI proposed Vengsarkar as a match referee,[11] but the proposal did not move forward as Vengsarkar accepted the job as chairman of selectors of the BCCI later in the year.[12]

He runs three cricket academies, two in Mumbai and one in Pune. These academies give training free of charge to players selected on their skill level.
