Profile
A tall lad of lanky build, Anup Dave is a left arm spinner in
the classical mould. With a nice easy run up to the wicket, Dave
uses his wrist well to vary the amount of turn he gets. Unafraid
to give the ball air, Dave definitely likes to be positive.
When required to, he can be called upon to tie one end down
with accurate line and length bowling. A good fielder inside
the circle, Dave has shown the ability to throw down the stumps
with a reliable level of accuracy. The recently concluded Under-19
World Cup in Sri Lanka brought his abilities to the fore as he
captured 13 wickets at less than 14 apiece. His best returns were
4 for 15, showing that he could pick enough wickets in a ten over
spell to change the course of the game. His spell of 7-3-7-3 in
a subsequent match added credibility to the claims he had
staked earlier. Dave plays for Rajasthan in the Ranji Trophy. He
was picked to play in the Challenger Trophy recently, but did not
have enough of a run to make his presence felt. (Anand Vasu)
