'''Sadanand Namdeo Mohol''' (born 6 October 1938, [[Vasai|Bassein]], [[Maharashtra]]) is a former [[India]]n [[Fast bowling|medium-fast bowler]] who played [[first-class cricket]] in [[India]] from 1960 to 1971. He toured England with the [[Indian cricket team in England in 1967|Indian team in 1967]], but did not play [[Test cricket]].

==Career==
Mohol made his first-class debut for [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]] against [[Gujarat cricket team|Gujarat]] in the [[Ranji Trophy]] in 1959-60, taking six wickets, including 3 for 8 off 18.3 overs in the second innings.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/23/23971.html Maharashtra v Gujarat 1959-60]</ref> He established himself in the Maharashtra team in 1961-62. In 1962-63 his bowling was a major factor in [[Savitribai Phule Pune University|Poona University's]] victory in the [[Rohinton Baria Trophy]], the annual competition among the Indian universities. In Poona University's two outright victories in the semi-final and final he took 14 wickets for 150 off 122.3 overs, as well as making useful runs in the middle order.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/7/Rohinton_Baria_Trophy_1962-63.html Rohinton Baria Trophy 1962-63]</ref>

In 1963-64 he opened the bowling for a team of young players, the Indian Board President's XI, against the touring [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]], taking two wickets. In 1964-65 he took 3 for 54 and 8 for 42 against [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]].<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/27/27147.html Saurashtra v Maharashtra 1964-65]</ref> He opened the bowling for [[West Zone cricket team|West Zone]] in a semi-final of the [[Duleep Trophy]] later that season, but was not selected for the final.

He had his best season in 1966-67, taking 43 wickets in eight matches at an average of 19.27.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/34/34184/f_Bowling_by_Season.html Sadanand Mohol bowling by season]</ref> He began the season with 7 for 23 for [[Indian Starlets]] against Hyderabad Cricket Association XI in the [[Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament]] in October.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/28/28478.html Hyderabad Cricket Association XI v Indian Starlets 1966-67]</ref> In December he played for West Zone against the touring [[West Indies cricket team|West Indians]], taking 4 for 107 off 36 overs. A few days later he took 5 for 37 and 6 for 69 for Maharashtra against Saurashtra.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/28/28565.html Saurashtra v Maharashtra 1966-67]</ref>

He was selected as one of the two specialist pace bowlers for [[Indian cricket team in England in 1967|the tour of England]], along with [[Subrata Guha]]. India preferred to rely almost entirely on its spin bowlers, however, and Guha played only one of the three Tests and Mohol none at all. Mohol played in only seven of the 18 first-class matches, and apart from the match against [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford University]], when he took 5 for 39 off 34 overs, he had few chances to run into form before a leg injury hampered the later stages of his tour. He finished with 12 wickets at 20.00, and headed the team's first-class averages.<ref>"India in England, 1967", ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' 1968, pp. 281-306.</ref><ref>[[Sujit Mukherjee]], ''Playing for India'', Orient Longman, New Delhi, 1988, p. 72.</ref>

He began the 1967-68 season with 11 wickets in the first two matches in the Ranji Trophy, but he did not play again until the final stages of the Ranji Trophy in 1970-71. His last match was the final, when he took four wickets (match figures of 52–22–65–4) in Maharashtra's closely fought loss to [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]].<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/31/31500.html Bombay v Maharashtra 1970-71]</ref>
