Ashoke Dinda last represented India in an ODI against England in 2013. He was behind the coveted Test spot after he had played for his country in the white-ball formats. Speaking exclusively to Indranil Basu on Sportskeeda Live, Dinda said he would have been a more satisfied man today if he had made his Test debut.
However, Ashoke Dinda feels there are quite a few examples of ‘domestic kings’ who never played for India.
Ashoke Dinda played 13 ODIs and nine T20Is for India, taking 12 and 17 wickets respectively. He might not be remembered for his exploits in international cricket, but there is no doubt that he would be counted as one of the stalwarts for the Bengal side in domestic cricket.
I always bowled with my heart: Ashoke Dinda
The India seamer was known for his ability to bowl long probing spells. Whether Dinda was bowling the first ball of the day or the last, he could always be seen steaming in. Speaking on this, Ashoke Dinda said he always bowled with his heart and gave his 100 percent.
In 116 first-class matches, Ashoke Dinda claimed 420 wickets with an impressive average of 28.28. He took 26 five-wicket hauls and five 10-wicket hauls in his career. In international cricket, the 36-year-old’s most memorable performance came against Sri Lanka in a T20I where he finished with figures of 4-19.
