Dilip Doshi’s career

Dilip Doshi made a Test debut for India at the age of 32 in 1979, which was a delayed opportunity. Despite this, he played 33 Tests and 15 ODIs. He took 114 wickets in the Test, including taking five wickets in the innings six times.

His first class career was also very good. He took 898 wickets in 238 matches and his name will always be remembered in Indian domestic cricket.
