Profile
A man who traveled 40 miles to Hubbali every day to practice, Sunil Joshi, is a former Indian bowling all-rounder who played for India in 15 Tests and 69 ODIs. A left-arm spinner by trade, Joshi represented Karnataka at the state level.
His love for cricket probably is worthy of being made into a feature film. One can imagine his dedication towards the game by understanding the fact that for cricket practice every morning, he used to travel 40 miles to Hubbali and then return to his town Gadag in time for school.
Joshi was selected to play for India after an impressive Ranji season in 1995/96. With an extraordinary double of 500 runs and 50 wickets that season, Joshi was knocking on the doors of the Indian team. His opportunity wasn't far away either as he was picked to play against England in 1996. He made his debut in the first Test at Edgbaston.
With Anil Kumble already in the team, Joshi's role was that of a secondary spinner, who could also provide some runs lower down the order. Even though Joshi was a regular in the national squad during 1996-2001, he was not picked for the 1999 World Cup.
His best bowling performance came during the LG Cup in 1999. In the second ODI match against South Africa, he took 5/6 in his quota of 10 overs as South Africa were bundled out for just 117. India went on to win the game by 8 wickets and he was rightly adjudged the Man of the Match. Joshi though has also been criticized for being extremely slow through the air from time to time, which in turn gives the batsman extra time to adjust.
Sunil Joshi participated in 160 first-class matches, taking 615 wickets and making 5129 runs in almost two decades. In 2004, he represented Bedfordshire County Cricket Club for a brief period in England. He was also part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team in the first two seasons of the IPL and stayed under contract till 2010. He formally announced his retirement from first-class cricket on June 21, 2012.
After retirement, Joshi had taken up coaching jobs. He has coached Hyderabad cricket team as well as the Jammu and Kashmir team. In June 2015, Joshi announced that he will participate in the 2015 season of KPL and he will play for the All Stars Celebrity Cricket team owned by Sandalwood actor Sudeep.
