'''Nirode Ranjan "Putu" Chowdhury''' {{audio|Nirode_Chowdhury.ogg|pronunciation}} (23 May 1923, [[Jamshedpur]], [[India]] - 14 December 1979, [[Durgapur, West Bengal|Durgapur]], [[India]]) was an [[India national cricket team|Indian]] [[cricket]]er.

A medium pace bowler, Putu Chowdhury had an outstanding start to his career. Playing for [[Bihar cricket team|Bihar]] in the [[Ranji Trophy]], he took 11, 9 and 10 wickets in his first three matches. In 1944-45, he took a [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]] against Bengal Governor's XI in [[Eden Gardens]] which included the wickets of [[Vinoo Mankad]], [[Mushtaq Ali]] and [[Lala Amarnath]]. He started his career with Bihar, moved in 1944 to [[Bengal cricket team|Bengal]], where he played most of his cricket, and returned to Bihar in 1955 towards the end of his career.

He made his [[Test cricket|Test]] debut against the [[West Indies national cricket team|West Indies]] at [[M.A. Chidambaram Stadium|Madras]] in 1948/49. He took only one wicket but brilliantly ran out [[Everton Weekes]] who had scored hundreds in his five previous innings, and had reached 90 here [https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/f/17/f17967.html]{{Dead link|date=June 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}. Weekes cut [[Vinoo Mankad]] to gully, started to run and was sent back. Chowdhury sent the throw to wicket keeper [[Probir Sen]] who ran Weekes out.

In 1951, he spent some time in [[Alf Gover]]'s cricket school in England. He played a Test against [[England national cricket team|England]] at home in 1951-52 without success and toured [[Indian cricket team in England in 1952|England in 1952]] without playing in a Test. His bowling action was sometimes considered [[Throwing (cricket)|suspect]], especially while bowling his faster ball.<ref>Exclusion of Chowdhury in Test Team", Indian Express, December 26, 1951</ref>

He was allotted a benefit match which could not be played. He was a coach in the [[Durgapur, West Bengal|Durgapur]] steel plant in the later years. His Test bowling average of 205.00 is the second worst for India, after [[Sunil Gavaskar]]'s 206.00.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/27659.html Cricinfo profile]</ref>
