Sanjay Bangar
Sanjay Bapusaheb Bangar (born 11 October 1972) is an Indian cricket commentator and the head of cricket development of the IPL franchise Punjab Kings. He is a former Indian international cricketer. He played as an all-rounder and represented the India national cricket team in Tests and ODIs.
Bangar was born in Beed, Maharashtra, India. He has completed his schooling from Saint Francis De Sales High School, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. He completed his Bachelor of Commerce from Ramniranjan Jhunjhunwala College, Ghatkopar. He has also completed Company Secretaries Intermediate Course.
Bangar began his career playing in the youth teams of Maharashtra and Mumbai, but at the state level, he made his name representing Railways with his medium-pace bowling and sound defensive batting technique.
In the 2000–01 season, Railways reached the final of the Ranji Trophy where they lost to Baroda. The following season, they went one better and defeated Baroda to win the competition. Bangar's performances had caught the eyes of the selectors and he was called up to the Indian squad for their matches against England in the 2001–02 season.
In only his second Test, he scored 100 not out against Zimbabwe at Nagpur batting at number 7. On the 2002 tour of England, he was promoted to open the innings at Headingley after some poor performances by Wasim Jaffer. He responded with his most important innings for India, making a patient 68 on the first day in an invaluable partnership with Rahul Dravid in difficult swinging and seaming conditions. Later on in the same match he also chipped in with two important wickets to set up a rare innings victory for India away from home.
Bangar was named as part of India's squad for the 2003 Cricket World Cup, but his performances for India began to tail off, and he made his final appearance for his country in 2004, appearing in 12 Test matches and 15 One Day Internationals in all. He made important contributions to 7 test match wins for India.
He later became the captain of Railways and led them to two major championship titles, the Ranji Trophy and the Irani Trophy victory in 2004–05. He also led the Railways team to a Ranji Trophy One Day National Championship in 2005–06. Along with Vijay Hazare, he is only one of two players to score 6,000 runs and take 200 wickets in the Ranji Trophy. He represented Deccan Chargers in the first IPL season. He played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2009 IPL.
In January 2013, Bangar announced his retirement after 20 of years playing. An article by Sanjay Bangar was featured in the 2012 book Rahul Dravid: Timeless Steel.
