Dilip Rasiklal Doshi (born 22 December 1947, Rajkot, Gujarat) is a former Indian cricketer who played in 33 Tests and 15 ODIs from 1979 to 1983. Doshi is one of only four Test bowlers that played their first Test after the age of thirty, yet went on to take more than 100 wickets, the other three being Clarrie Grimmett, Saeed Ajmal and Ryan Harris. ==In Test Cricket== Doshi was already in his 30s when he made his test debut (At Chennai, against Australia 11–16 Sep 1979). Having waited for so long, he didn't waste any time in making his presence felt. With figures of 6/103 & 2/64 he was India's best bowler in the match. 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 & 3/60. But perhaps, his greatest joy came, when he took 4/92 at Eden Garden, Calcutta, his (adopted) home town, in front of 70,000 strong crowd. After this series, Doshi's place in the Indian Test team became permanent. Unfortunately, in the next few years Doshi failed to emerge as regular match winning bowler in the international level. He was accurate and consistent, but failed to show the killing instincts. His only match winning effort after the Aussie series came at Bombay, against England, in 1981–82. His 5/39, helped India gain a vital first innings lead in a low scoring match. 〔() Cricinfo Player Page Dilip Doshi (Retrieved on 2009-06-17)〕 The emergence of Maninder Singh in 82–83 season hastened the end of Doshi's test career.

Doshi holds the record for the most Test Match innings in a career without ever batting above someone else in the order, with 38 innings batting at number 11 in the order. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dilip Doshi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
