The veteran left-arm spinner was a stalwart of Indian cricket, which was famous for its unique skills and dedication for the game. ,Doshi recently attended Lord’s in the BCCI Awards Function and World Test Championship finals earlier this month.“Doshi was a true and enthusiastic Saurshrian and a mythical left-arm leg-spinner in the cricket world. Despite the debut of his late India, he acquired several remarkable milestones and was a pure match-winner. Dilipabhai reached the 100 wicket mark in only 28 tests. He played 33 Tests and took 114 wickets, including six five wickets. He played 238 first-class matches, consisting of 898 wickets, including 43 five-wickets and six-10-cicat haws. In 15 Odis, he took 22 wickets, including two to four wickets. These figures say all this about his class. ,“Dilipabhai’s passion for cricket was extraordinary and beyond comparison. He evaluated his five -wicket degree in the Melbourne Test against Australia. As his best performance against Australia. For those who want to follow their way in professional cricket. He has played at all levels around the world and can not be worthy to talk about the art of spin bowling. ,Expressing his “intense grief” over Doshi’s death, former BCCI Secretary, Niranjan Shah said: “This is a very painful and personal loss for me. Dileep was not only one of the great cricketers, but also one of the best humans I have known anytime. His great heart, speculation, and informal dedication made him really. The family was – someone who I not only shared with cricketing conversations, but also a deep bond built on mutual respect and affection. His presence always brought warmth, humility and positive energy. The one who leaves the zero is beyond words. This is not only a cricket world, but I have my own heart that feels its absence deeply. I always cherish the beautiful memories and moments that we have spent together. His legacy will be through many lives he inspired. ,

His deep love for the game, disciplined approach and beautiful conduct made him a role model for generations. For many of us, he was not only a hero on the field, but also a guide and a well -working working. Indian cricket has lost a true legend today.
