NEW DELHI: (Jun 23) Former India left-arm spinner Dilip Doshi, who carved out a niche for himself despite being in the shadows of Bishan Singh Bedi, died due to cardiac arrest in London on Monday, the Saurashtra Cricket Association said.

He was 77 and is survived by his wife Kalindi, son Nayan, who has also played first- class cricket, and daughter Vishakha.

Doshi made his Test debut in 1979 after Bedi’s retirement and played his last of his 33 games in 1983.
