Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The debut Ranji season was a dream come true phase for Dhawal has became the most successful bowler of the season and since then, he has never looked back. The Mumbai side have looked up to him for breakthroughs and he has rarely disappointed. In the 2012-13 season, Dhawal once again emerged among the top wicket-takers as Mumbai stormed their way to a whopping 40th Ranji title. All these exploits continued to strengthen his name as one of the most reliable pacers going around in the domestic circuit.
Dhawal continues to make all the right noises and that has meant that he has always remained in the minds of the national selectors. With India's pace bowling stocks rising considerably in recent years, Dhawal will have to keep up the good work to be in the race.
IPL through the years
A productive swing bowler who naturally relishes the new ball, Dhawal Kulkarni has been an unsung performer in the IPL. In his initial years, he played for his native franchise Mumbai Indians before moving to Rajasthan Royals until the latter’s suspension in 2015 saw him moving to Gujarat Lions for two years. At the fresh auctions in 2018, RR ensured that they got the Mumbai pacer back in the ranks. Over the years, Dhawal has never really featured throughout an IPL season, often finding himself in and out of the side. On pitches that arev drier and slower, he has mostly made way for quicker bowlers or an alternate spinner, given his dependence on swing and seam movement. He hasn’t been great at the death either, which is another flaw that’s hurt Dhawal in the IPL. However, considering the wealth of experience that he has at the domestic level, he is a good signing to have in the squad to mix with the younger boys.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Dhawal Kulkarni, a right-arm medium-pacer, first came into the spotlight after his performances for Mumbai Under-17s in the 2005-06 Vijay Merchant Trophy. Impressive performances at the U-19 state level, including 8 for 47 against Tamil Nadu, earned him a place on the India U-19 tour of Sri Lanka in 2007. He continued the good work there and was rewarded with a spot in Mumbai's side for the Ranji one-dayers in 2008, as well as a contract with Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. In his first Ranji season, he emerged the tournament's most successful bowler, taking 42 wickets and invariably providing early breakthroughs for Mumbai, the eventual winners. The dream season continued with his inclusion in the Test squad for the tour of New Zealand in 2009.
He did not get to play a match on the tour, and had to wait another five years to make his international debut, in the fourth ODI during India's tour of England in 2014. He picked up eight wickets at 18.62 in the home ODI series against Sri Lanka later that year, but opportunities since have been scarce, with his only chances in 2015 coming on ODI tours of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
In domestic cricket, however, Kulkarni has established himself as one of the leading seam bowlers in the country, marrying accuracy to new-ball swing, and picking up over 200 first-class wickets. He has invariably performed in big matches: he picked up five-fors in the Ranji Trophy finals of 2008-09, 2012-13 and 2015-16, and helped Mumbai out of a sticky situation with the bat in the 2009-10 final, his second-innings 87 proving critical in a narrow win over Karnataka.
Kulkarni was a fairly regular member of the Mumbai Indians attack in the first five seasons of the IPL, before moving to Rajasthan Royals ahead of the 2013 season and going on to play a consistent role with the new ball for them. With Royals suspended ahead of the 2016 season, Kulkarni was snapped up by the newly launched Gujarat Lions franchise.
