Sandeep Patil

In the 80s, Sandeep Patil was one of India’s most explosive batsman in ODI cricket. The dashing right-hander played some quick-fire knocks down the order courtesy his ability to score runs at a brisk pace. Patil had the penchant to use the long handle with great effect and found the boundary at will.

Along with Kapil Dev, he provided firepower to the Indian innings down the order. He could change gears quickly and change the momentum of the innings in a blink of an eye.

Sandeep Patil was a key member of the Indian World Cup winning squad in 1983 and contributed handsomely with the willow scoring 221 runs. He is also noted for taking on some of the most lethal fast bowlers and taking them to the cleaners.

Sandeep is best remembered for scoring a whirlwind 32 ball half-century against England in the semifinals of the 1983 World Cup.
