Nayan Doshi

Who is Nayan Doshi?

Nayan Dilip Doshi is an English cricketer, who was released by Derbyshire. He is the son of Dilip Doshi, who is a former Indian Test bowler. Doshi, a left arm spin bowler, first played for Surrey in June 2004, after already playing for the Indian side Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy.

At the end of the 2006 cricket season, Doshi signed a two-year contract with Surrey, which was to end after the 2008 season. On 19 July 2007, Surrey announced that this contract had been terminated at Doshi's request.

Doshi then signed a short-term deal with Warwickshire until the end of the 2007 season. Doshi was due to make his debut in Warwickshire's County Championship match against Sussex on 8 August that year. However, he was unable to do so owing to confusion surrounding the registration process.

Nayan Doshi is currently the world's second-placed Twenty20 wicket taker, having taken 59 wickets from 39 matches. Only Tyron Henderson has taken more, with 60 in 52 matches. Doshi was also the first bowler in the Twenty20 Cup to take a hat-trick and still finish on the losing side.

Doshi also played in the Indian Premier League in 2010 with the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
