Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Dinda's was not an instant success story, though his spotting was to an extent fortuitous. It was a happy accident though, for Bengal and for Dinda. Sometime in 2004-05, Dinda came to Kolkata - a 3-hour drive away from his village - and bowled in one of the nets under the watchful eyes of coach Atal Dev Burman. Burman was so impressed with the bowler that he asked him to stay back, and that started Dinda's journey.
Soon he broke into the Bengal Ranji side, where he became a regular member. Dinda has an exaggerated leap in his delivery stride that almost makes it seem as if he is floating in air before releasing the ball. That has not impacted his speed though, and he is capable of consistently hitting the high 130s kmph mark.
Dinda was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders before the inaugural IPL, and he was immediately effective. Captain Sourav Ganguly showed faith in him by handing him the new ball, and he responded well. In the second season of the IPL, which marked a low-point for the Knight Riders, Dinda went on record to state that the team would have done better under Ganguly, after Ganguly was deposed as captain by coach John Buchanan. He was then picked up by Pune Warriors in 2012 and fared decently with them.
Dinda earned a call-up to the national T20 squad in 2009 against Sri Lanka on December 9 at Nagpur, bagging the wicket of Sanath Jayasuriya. Almost a year later, in June 2010, he made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe and was also picked for the 2010 Asia Cup. He was also picked for the longest format of the game after a good time in the domestic arena, but he did not get to play in the home series against England.
He got to play a couple of ODIs against Pakistan and England respectively in early 2013 but couldn't quite make the playing XI again. Because of his abilities to bowl fast yorkers, he was bought by Bangalore for the 2014 edition of the IPL after a decent outing with Pune the previous year.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
From the village of Naichanpur, about three hours from Kolkata, Ashok Dinda was spotted early by Atal Dev Burman, a coach, after bowling a few overs in the nets. Dinda, who said he could not afford staying back, was taken in by the coach and soon received a basic contract with Kalighat club and a stint with the Australian Institute of Sport. He made his first-class debut for Bengal in 2005, and impressed many with his consistent pace, generated from an exaggerated leap into his delivery stride.
Despite being a late addition to the Kolkata Knight Riders' squad for the inaugural IPL season in 2008, Dinda took nine wickets in 13 games at an economy rate of 6.66. Subsequently, he earned a spot in the Rest of India squad for the Irani Trophy, which by his own admission, took him by surprise. One year later, he made his T20I debut against Sri Lanka. His ODI debut was in 2010 when he was selected for the ODI and T20 squads for the tour of Zimbabwe after the selectors decided to rest several senior players.
In between his sporadic appearances for the national side, Dinda was signed by Pune Warriors in 2012 from Delhi Daredevils. During England's tour to India later that year, Dinda was called up as cover for the injured Umesh Yadav, but he still yearns for his Test cap. Dinda, who last played for India in 2013, was selected in the 2015 World Cup probables list but did not make the final cut. Dinda switched franchises again when he was bought for INR 50 lakhs (75000 USD) by Rising Pune Supergiants after being released by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
