Sairaj Bahutule pronunciation (born 6 January 1973, Bombay, Maharashtra, India) is a former Indian cricketer. He was an all-rounder who bowled leg spin. Beginning in the 1991–92 season, he played domestic cricket for Mumbai, Maharashtra, Assam, Andhra and Vidarbha.

Playing career

Standout performances, including a 13-wicket match haul for Mumbai in the Irani Cup,[1] led him to be called into the Indian team in 1997. Three years later, an injury to Anil Kumble enabled him to be called up for a Test match against Australia, but he struggled in his two Tests.

He played in Scotland for five summers for Scottish Championship side Reigate Priory in the Premier Division.[citation needed]

Bahutule retired from first-class cricket on 1 January 2013.[2]

He was one of the bowlers for St. Xavier's High School when Sachin Tendulkar and teammate Vinod Kambli scored an unbroken 664-run partnership for Shardashram Vidyamandir in a Lord Harris Shield inter-school game in 1988.

Coaching career

In June 2014, Bahutule was appointed the coach of the Kerala cricket team.[3] In July 2015, he was appointed coach of the Bengal cricket team.[4]

In February 2018, he was appointed as spin bowling coach for Rajasthan Royals.[5][6]
