'''Sandeep Madhusudan Patil''' ({{lang-mr|संदीप मधुसुदन पाटील}}; {{audio|Sandeep_Patil.ogg|pronunciation}}; born 18 August 1956) is a former [[Indian cricket team|Indian]] cricketer, Indian national age group cricket manager and former [[Kenya cricket team|Kenya]] national team coach, who guided the minnows to the semi-finals of the [[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003 World Cup]]. He was a hard-hitting [[Cricket terminology#M|middle order batsman]] and an occasional [[Cricket terminology#M|medium pace bowler]]. He was the coach of [[Mumbai Champs]] in the [[Indian Cricket League]], but returned to the mainstream when he cut ties with the unofficial league in 2009. He has been appointed as the director of [[National Cricket Academy]] (NCA) by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]], replacing [[Dav Whatmore]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/429547.html|title=Patil replaces Whatmore as NCA head|access-date=2011-08-25}}</ref> He was appointed as the new chief of the BCCI Selection Committee on 27 September 2012.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/binny-to-head-selection-panel-amarnath-leaves/27694| title= Patil is Chief Selector, Amarnath exits | publisher = Wisden India | date=27 September 2012}}</ref>

==Early life==
Sandeep Patil was born on 8 August 1956 in [[Mumbai]]. His father, Madhusudan Patil, was a former first class cricketer,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Players/1/1617/1617.html |title=SANDEEP PATIL : Career statistics |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> national level badminton player and skilled player of tennis and football. He grew up in the [[Shivaji Park]] area in Bombay, studied in [[Balmohan Vidyamandir]] and [[Ramnarain Ruia College]] and was coached by Ankush 'Anna' Vaidya.

==Cricket career==
In the early part of his career Patil was as much a medium pacer who bowled off the wrong foot, as he was a batsman. Following three successful years for the Bombay university in the [[Rohinton Baria Trophy]], he made the [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]] [[Ranji Trophy|Ranji]] team in 1975–76. After being on and off the team for three seasons, he played his first major innings against Delhi in the 1979 semifinal. Going in at No.6 after Bombay lost the first four wickets for 72, Patil hit 145 in 276 minutes with 18 fours and a six, none of his partners made more than 25.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/38/38950.html |title=Bombay v Delhi : Ranji Trophy 1978/79 (Semi-Final) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> Patil played for Edmonton in the Middlesex league in 1979 and 1980, and for Somerset 'B' in the latter year.

[[Australian cricket team|Australia]] and [[Pakistan cricket team|Pakistan]] visited India in 1979–80. Patil appeared in tour matches for West Zone against both teams, scoring 44 and 23 against Australia,<ref name="cricketarchive1">{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/39/39715.html |title=West Zone v Australians : Australia in India 1979/80 |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> and 68 and 71 against Pakistan.<ref name="cricketarchive1"/> This earned him the selection in the last two Test matches against Pakistan. A week before making the debut, he made his career best first class score against [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]] at the [[Wankhede Stadium]]. Coming in to bat in the second morning he was 45* at lunch, reached his hundred in 139 balls scoring 105 in the second session, and ended up with 210 made in 205 balls with seven sixes and nineteen fours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/39/39880.html |title=Bombay v Saurashtra : Ranji Trophy 1979/80 (West Zone) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> The last of the sixes cleared the stadium (a very rare feat at the Wankhede) and landed in the hockey grounds outside. Patil made 62 in the final Test at [[Eden Gardens|Calcutta]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/39/39934.html |title=India v Pakistan : Pakistan in India and Bangladesh 1979/80 (6th Test) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> appeared in the Golden Jubilee Test against [[English cricket team|England]] later in the season<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/39/39959.html |title=India v England : England in Australia and India 1979/80 (Only Test) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> and was selected for the tour of [[Australia]] in 1980–81.

In the early matches of the Australian tour, he scored 116 against [[Southern Redbacks|South Australia]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/40/40763.html |title=South Australia v Indians : India in Australia and New Zealand 1980/81 |publisher=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> which included [[Rodney Hogg]], and 60 and 97 against [[Queensland Bulls|Queensland]] which had [[Jeff Thomson]], [[Geoff Dymock]] and [[Carl Rackemann]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/40/40829.html |title=Queensland v Indians : India in Australia and New Zealand 1980/81 |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> He won the man of the match on his [[One Day International|ODI]] debut for a 64 against Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/40/40782.html |title=Australia v India : Benson and Hedges World Series Cup 1980/81 |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref>

In the first innings of the first Test at [[Sydney Cricket Ground|Sydney]] Patil had reached 65 when just before the tea break on the first day, he was hit on the throat by Hogg. Continuing without a helmet, he was hit over the right ear by a [[bouncer (cricket)|bouncer]] by [[Len Pascoe]] in the first over after tea. Patil collapsed in the crease and had to retire hurt. Though still unwell, he batted in the second innings at the insistence of captain [[Sunil Gavaskar]] as India struggled to avoid an [[The result in cricket#Statement of result|innings defeat]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/40/40855.html |title=Australia v India : India in Australia and New Zealand 1980/81 (1st Test) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref>

Two weeks later, with a helmet on, Patil hit a spectacular 174 in the [[Adelaide Oval|Adelaide]] Test. It came after India lost the first four wickets for 130 against the Australian total of 528. At the time the highest innings by an Indian in Australia, it took him just over five hours and included twenty two fours and a six over mid-wicket off [[Bruce Yardley]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/40/40905.html |title=Australia v India : India in Australia and New Zealand 1980/81 (2nd Test) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> In the next series against New Zealand, Patil opened the bowling for India along with [[Kapil Dev]] in the Auckland Test.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63288.html |title=3rd Test: New Zealand v India at Auckland, Mar 13–18, 1981 | Cricket Scorecard |website=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref>

Patil found himself out of the team after four Tests in the home series against [[English cricket team|England]] in 1981–82 but was picked for the away series that followed immediately after. Here in the [[Old Trafford (cricket)|Manchester]] Test he scored his second hundred. India was in some danger of [[follow on|following on]] when he added 96 runs with [[Kapil Dev]] a little over an hour. England took the second new ball soon after and Patil hit the last two balls of an over from [[Ian Botham]] for four and three. In the next over he hit [[Bob Willis]] for six fours (4440444, the third ball being a no ball) – "two cover drives, one flat batted back over the bowler's head, two square cuts of ferocious power and a mighty hook" {{ref|BH}}- taking his score from 73 to 104 in nine balls. He was 129 not out when rain brought an early end to the match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/42/42479.html |title=England v India : India in British Isles 1982 (2nd Test)|website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref>

Another hundred followed against [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]] in September but he was again out the team by the middle of the season. While the Indian team toured [[West Indies]], he scored 121* in 84 balls in the second innings of the Ranji final against [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]]. All his runs came in single session on the final day as Bombay was targeting a declaration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/43/43314.html |title=Bombay v Karnataka : Ranji Trophy 1982/83 (Final) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> Patil scored 216 runs in eight matches in the [[1983 cricket World Cup|Prudential World Cup]] including 51* in the semifinal against England.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/43/43664.html |title=England v India : Prudential World Cup 1983 (Semi-Final)|website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> He scored 609 runs in the 1983–84 Ranji season, and his fourth and last Test hundred against Pakistan at [[Iqbal Stadium|Faisalabad]].

On the last day of the [[Feroz Shah Kotla|Delhi]] Test against England in December 1984, with his score on 41, Patil was caught at long on attempting a big hit off the bowling of [[Phil Edmonds]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/45/45414.html |title=India v England : England in India, Sri Lanka and Australia 1984/85 (2nd Test) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> This triggered a collapse and India lost the match that could well have been saved. Patil was dropped in the next test at [[Kolkata]] as a disciplinary measure, along with Kapil Dev who also fell to a similar shot off the bowling of [[Pat Pocock]]. [[Mohammad Azharuddin]] who took his place scored hundreds in his first three Test matches and Patil played no more Test cricket, although Kapil Dev would return to squad. In 1986, he was recalled for a few more one day matches. He also toured England without appearing in Tests.

Patil announced his retirement from [[first class cricket]] after appearing for Bombay against the Australians in September 1986. But he came back to captain the [[Madhya Pradesh cricket team]] from 1988 to 1993 with considerable success. One of the more notable innings was a 185 against Bombay in 1990.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/52/52403.html |title=Bombay v Madhya Pradesh : Ranji Trophy 1989/90 (Pre-Quarter-Final) |website=Cricketarchive.co.uk |access-date=2016-01-18}}</ref> He went on to coach the Indian national team and the 'A' team. As the coach of [[Kenya cricket team|Kenya]], he guided them to an unlikely semifinal place in the [[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003 World Cup]].

He served as chairman of selectors of the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] from 27 September 2012 to September 2016.

==Bollywood debut==
Soon after the [[1983 Cricket World Cup]] victory, Patil was offered by [[Vijay Singh (writer and filmmaker)|Vijay Singh]] to play the male lead opposite two [[Bollywood]] actresses [[Poonam Dhillon]] and [[Debashree Roy]] in ''[[Kabhie Ajnabi The]]'' while [[Syed Kirmani]] was offered to essay the role of a strong antagonist.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://itsallthere4u.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/993/|title=When Cricket met Bollywood|date=2015-04-10|work=ItsAllThere|access-date=2017-11-25|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.mid-day.com/articles/second-innings-in-b-town-for-sandip-patil-s-son/183857|title=Second innings in B-Town for Sandip Patil s son|date=2012-10-04|work=mid-day|access-date=2018-04-08}}</ref> Reportedly Patil got so occupied with his [[Bollywood]] debut that he refused to participate in the [[West Indies cricket team in India in 1983–84|West Indies tour]] in 1983.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/eyecatchers/story/19830228-cricketer-sandeep-patil-set-to-make-his-debut-in-films-opposite-poonam-dhillon-771285-2013-08-23|title=Cricketer Sandeep Patil set to make his debut in films opposite Poonam Dhillon|date=2013-08-23|website=India Today|language=en-US|access-date=2018-01-20}}</ref> Though the cricketer later reasoned that he had opted out of that tour because he was nursing an injury at that time.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.rediff.com/cricket/2008/jun/20patil.htm|title=Everybody played to their potential|work=Rediff|access-date=2018-01-21}}</ref> The filming began in 1983 and the film was released in 1985.
