AB Dinda

Ashok Dinda, commonly known as AB Dinda, is an Indian fast bowler who made his mark primarily in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League. Born in West Bengal, Dinda emerged as a promising pace bowler in the mid-2000s and became a regular feature in India's domestic circuit. His raw pace and aggressive bowling style earned him recognition, leading to his selection for the national team. Dinda's international career was brief but notable for his performances in T20 cricket, where he claimed 86 wickets across 85 matches with an impressive average of 26.95. His ODI career was limited to 13 matches, where he struggled to make a significant impact with 12 wickets at an average of 51.00. Despite his limited international success, Dinda remained a consistent performer in domestic cricket and the IPL, representing teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Pune Warriors, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. His ability to generate pace and extract bounce from pitches made him a valuable asset in shorter formats, though his international career was hampered by inconsistency and the emergence of other fast bowlers in Indian cricket.
