Aavishkar Madhav Salvi (ⓘ; born 20 October 1981) is a former Indian cricketer. He played a right-arm medium-pace bowler and right-handed batsman. In first-class cricket, he played for Mumbai. His last match for Mumbai was in 2013.[1] He also played for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL.
With a bowling style similar to Glenn McGrath's, employment of similar line and length and top-notch seam-bowling brought Salvi up from relative obscurity, as backup seamer for his club, to the national team in less than a year, and several Ranji Trophy appearances for his club.
Salvi is currently the fast bowling coach for Oman (on an assignment basis).[2] He started his coaching career as the head coach of Puducherry in 2018 post his retirement.[3] He was reappointed as the head coach for Puducherry cricket team in 2020 owing to the team's good performance under him in his first stint.[4][5]
In 2022, he was appointed as the head coach for Punjab cricket team. In his second season with them, he helped them win their first Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title.[6] It was Punjab's first domestic title in 30 years.[7]
