'''Shantanu Sharad Sugwekar''' (born 18 December 1966 in [[Pune]]) is a former Indian [[first-class cricket]]er who played for his home state [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]] from 1987 to 2001. Despite his first-class average of 63.10, Sugwekar never appeared in a Test for India, thus making him the only non-international in the history of cricket to play at least 50 first-class innings and finish his career averaging over 60.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/records/284199.html| title=Highest career batting average| publisher=Cricinfo}}</ref><ref name="laidback">{{cite web | url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/travel/content/story/625108.html | title=Laidback but tough | publisher=ESPNcricinfo | date=March 2013 | accessdate=19 October 2014 | author=Talya, Siddhartha}}</ref><br />
