Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Even before he got a chance to play for India, Doshi made a name for himself while playing county cricket. He was a master of flight and his control over the ball, made him a well-respected figure in the county circuit. In a different era, Doshi probably would have had a longer international career, but with Bishan Singh Bedi, a world-class left-arm spinner already in the team, he had to wait for his turn.
Doshi, in fact, is the luckiest of the three great left-arm spinners in Indian domestic cricket history, whose chances of representing India got hampered because they were born in the same era as Bedi.The other two unfortunate members of the trio, Padmakar Shivalkar and Rajinder Goel (highest wicket-taker in Ranji history), only featured for India in unofficial Tests and never played an international game.
He only made his Test debut in 1979, against Australia in Chennai. He was India's best bowler in the game, finishing with match figures of 8/167, including a 6-wicket haul in the first innings of the match. In the final match of the series in Bombay (now Mumbai), he played a crucial role in India's victory, taking 5/43 and 3/60 in the match.
The success he found in the series made him a regular in the Indian side for a few years. In an ODI career that just lasted 15 games, he took 22 wickets in total. However, his fielding was a cause of concern and Ravi Shastri was selected in his place for the 1983 World Cup.
The failure to produce match-winning performances with the ball on a regular basis didn't help his cause either. It is also believed that his relationship with Sunil Gavaskar was a reason behind his exclusion from the Test team.
Doshi also served as the Managing Director of Entrack India. He is also the father of English cricketer, Nayan Doshi.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Immaculate control of flight and turn made Dilip Doshi a much-respected left-arm spinner in English county cricket some time before he donned his country's colours. In another age, Doshi might have gone on to play 100 Tests for India. But like Rajinder Goel and Padmakar Shivalkar before him, he was doomed to play out the bulk of his career in the immense shadow of Bishan Singh Bedi. An intelligent and patient bowler, Doshi was effective on even the most placid tracks. He played his first Test in 1979-80, when he was 32, and immediately became Kapil Dev's main foil in an emasculated attack. For the next three years, he was an ever-present figure, glasses gleaming, and reached 100 wickets in only 28 Tests (he and the legendary Australian legspinner Clarrie Grimmett are the only two to reach that landmark after making their debuts past 30). Doshi's uneasy relationship with Sunil Gavaskar - especially during the Pakistan tour of 1982-83 - was primarily responsible for his Test career running into a brick wall.
