Salvi is currently the fast bowling coach for Oman (on an assignment basis).[3] He started his coaching career as the head coach of Puducherry in 2018 post his retirement.[4] He was reappointed as the head coach for Puducherry cricket team in 2020 owing to the team's good performance under him in his first stint.[5][6]
With a bowling style similar to Glenn McGrath's, employment of similar line and length and top-notch seam-bowling brought Salvi up from relative obscurity, as backup seamer for his club, to the national team in less than a year, and several Ranji Trophy appearances for his club. He has great strength for a bowler of his height and a commendable run-up.
He is known as the most educated cricketer of India with a PHD in Astrophysics.[2]
