Surendra Shriram Bhave (born 30 March 1966) is a former Indian first-class cricketer hailing from Pune district,who played for his home state Maharashtra from 1986 to 2001. A right-handed opening batsman,noted for his run scoring and ability to build large innings,Bhave regularly captained Maharashtra throughout the 1990s. [1]
His ability to lead the innings and provide stability left a legacy in the Ranji Trophy tournaments. After his retirement in 2001,Bhave focused on coaching and was hired by Cadence Cricket Academy,owned by Ajay Shirke,the Maharashtra Cricket Association chief. [2]
Bhave had a strong start to his career,after making one first-class appearance in both 1986/87 and 1987/88 he made the most of his opportunity in 1988/89 by scoring 730 runs at an average of 91.25. Of his four hundreds that season,the biggest was an innings of 274 which he made against a Dilip Vengsarkar-led Bombay team. [3] He would score a further six double hundreds in his career,three of them in 1992. Such was his consistency that it was not until 1997/98 that he ended a season with an average under 50 and he never scored less than 800 runs from 1992/93 to 1996/97. [4]
Although Maharashtra never won the Ranji Trophy while Bhave was at the club,he did captain them to the final in 1992/93. Playing against Punjab,Bhave failed in both innings and in the end it was a maiden first-class century to Amit Sharma that was the difference. [5]
Bhave played for India A in the 1992/93 SAARC Quadrangular,a limited overs series also competed for by Sri Lanka A,Bangladesh A and Pakistan A. Bhave scored 81 against the Sri Lankans and although India made the final,the contest was canceled following rioting in the host city of Dhaka. [6]
He also represented West Zone in the Duleep Trophy on occasions and on 2 December 1994 made 292 for the team in a first-class match against South Zone at Rourkela. His 739-minute vigil ended when he was bowled by offspinner Kanwaljit Singh. [7]
