Deep Dasgupta Biography

A better batsman than wicketkeeper, Deep Dasgupta sometimes looked awkward behind the stumps at the highest level but seldom in front. He was one of several wicketkeepers India used between Nayan Mongia and MS Dhoni.

His achievements in Test cricket were primarily with the willow. A stonewaller with seemingly indistinguishable temperament, Dasgupta could bat for hours, presenting the bowlers with a straight bat, accumulating runs once they ran out of steam.

He scored a crucial 34, batting at No. 7 on debut at Bloemfontein. He was asked to open in his second Test, and he continued to open ever since. In his second Test, at Port Elizabeth, he batted almost throughout Day Five to carve out a 281-ball 63 to save the Test.

Back home he started with a round 100 against England at Mohali. In the fourth innings of the next Test he scored a gritty 60. After 4 Tests his numbers read an impressive 291 runs at 42. Unfortunately, the next 4 Tests fetched him a mere 53 runs at 11, and he never played again. His glovework was never the best, and with stiff competition coming from Ajay Ratra and Parthiv Patel, and later Dinesh Karthik, he could never come back.

He had a late start to his Ranji Trophy career, having to wait for the retirement of Saba Karim. However, once he was there, the ascent to Test cricket had been sharp. Once dropped from the Test side he continued to play domestic cricket till 2009-10, scoring 3,806 First-Class runs and effecting 212 dismissals. He led Bengal to consecutive Ranji Trophy finals in 2005-06 and 2006-07. He also played in ICL.

He is currently a commentator.
