Profile

Dodda Ganesh, a right-arm medium-fast bowler, was the most successful bowler for his domestic team, Karnataka, which boasts of other national players like Srinath, Prasad, Kumble and Joshi, in the 1998-1999 season. In his only ODI, against Zimbabwe in 1996-97, he captured a wicket and conceded 20 runs in five overs. He played four Test matches (in South Africa and West Indies) and took five wickets at an average of 57.40. He latterly improved his action but was unable to force his way back into national reckoning.
