'''Dilip Balwant Vengsarkar''' {{audio|Dilip_Vengsarkar.ogg|pronunciation}} (born 6 April 1956) is a former Indian [[cricket]]er and a cricket administrator. He was known as one of the foremost exponents of the [[Drive (cricket)|drive]]. He was also known by the nickname 'Colonel'.<ref>[http://www.veethi.com/india-people/dilip_vengsarkar-profile-232-15.htm]</ref> Along with [[Sunil Gavaskar]] and [[Gundappa Viswanath]], he was a key player in the Indian batting line up in the late 70s and early 80s. He went on to play till 1992. Dilip has also represented Bombay in the Ranji Trophy.

At this pinnacle of best his career, Vengsarkar was rated as the best batsmen in the Coopers and Lybrand rating (a predecessor of the PWC ratings) and he held the number one slot for 21 months in a row till March 2, 1989.<ref>{{Citation|title=Miandad replaces Vengsarkar|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|date=1989-03-03|access-date=2016-10-03|page=16|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19910222&printsec=frontpage}}</ref>

==Career==

Vengsarkar made his international cricket debut against New Zealand at [[Auckland]] in 1975–76 as an opening batsman. India won this Test convincingly, but he did not have much success. Later on he usually batted in the No.3 or No.4 position.

He played a memorable inning in 1979 against Asif Iqbal's Pakistan team in the 2nd Test at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi. Requiring 390 to win on the final day, he led India's chase getting the team very close to a victory. India ended up with 364 for 6, just 26 runs short of what would have been a remarkable win. With [[Yashpal Sharma (cricketer)|Yashpal Sharma]], [[Kapil Dev]] and [[Roger Binny]] back to the pavilion after the Tea break, Vengsarkar saw himself running out of partners and decided to play the last few overs for a draw. He remained unbeaten on 146.

During the 1978–79 Test Series in India against the West Indies, he was involved in a partnership of over 300 runs with [[Sunil Gavaskar]] at Calcutta, with both batsman scoring centuries.

He was a member of the [[1983 cricket World Cup|1983 World Champion's team]]. He had a productive run of scores between 1985 and 1987, where he scored centuries against [[Pakistan]], Australia, England, [[West Indies]] and [[Sri Lanka]], many of them in successive games.

While the West Indies pacemen dominated the cricket world, Dilip Vengsarkar was one of the few batsmen who was successful against them, and scored 6 centuries against the likes of [[Malcolm Marshall]], [[Michael Holding]] and [[Andy Roberts (cricketer)|Andy Roberts]].

He is currently team mentor and coach for Telugu Warrior team in the Celebrity Cricket League Season 5 <ref>{{cite web|title=CCL 2016 winner: Telugu Warriors beat Karnataka Bulldozers to win Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) 2016 Final|url=http://www.india.com/sports/celebrity-cricket-league-ccl-2016-final-live-score-updates-telugu-warriors-vs-karnataka-bulldozers-946739/}}</ref>

==Unique distinction==

He also scored a century at [[Lord's]] in 1986 and thereby attaining the distinction of scoring three consecutive [[Test cricket|Test match]] centuries at Lord's. For his effort to help India win the Test series in England (a rare feat in itself) he was awarded the Man of the Series award. He has scored 3 [[Test cricket|Test]] centuries at [[Lord's]], which is most by any visiting batsman at the venue in [[Test cricket|Tests]].

==Captaincy==

Vengsarkar took over the captaincy from [[Kapil Dev]] after the [[1987 Cricket World Cup]], despite criticism that he missed the semi-final match due to a stomach disorder resulting from seafood allergy. Although he started with two centuries in his first series as captain, his captaincy period was turbulent and he lost the job following a disastrous tour of the [[West Indies]] in early 1989 and a stand-off with the Indian cricket board ([[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]]).
