Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Interestingly, Ganesh started his career as a a wicket-keeper. However, his potential as a pacer was soon recognised by Gundappa Vishwanath and he came through the ranks quickly. Ganesh made his First-Class debut in the Ranji Trophy against Tamil Nadu in 1994-95. However, it was in the Irani Cup in 1996 that he shone brightly by taking 11 wickets for Karnataka against Rest of India.
The selectors were excited by a young pacer, who could hit the deck hard and duly selected him for the tour of South Africa in 1996-97. Unfortunately, he perhaps got the chance to play for his country too early. When up against a strong South African line-up, Ganesh struggled to make an impact and could only take one wicket in the two Tests he played.
In West Indies, Ganesh bowled better and picked up crucial wickets in Barbados. India though, suffered a gut-wrenching loss in that Test. He played one more Test at Georgetown, Guyana. But after that game, he soon became a forgotten man of Indian cricket. Ganesh though, didn't lose hope as he put up consistent performances in the domestic circuit.
In 1998-99, Ganesh picked up 74 wickets in the domestic circuit and played a pivotal role in helping Karnataka to lift the Ranji Trophy for the third time in the 1990s. Even those sterling spells on barren decks weren't good enough for him to return to the Indian side. Most believe that he should have been selected for the tour of Australia in 1999-00, but it wasn't to be.
Ganesh was a fine performer in domestic cricket until the mid 2000s. He finally hung up his spiked boots in 2007. Ganesh ended up with 365 wickets in First-Class cricket and that included as many as 20 five-wicket hauls. As the years went by, his batting too improved. After retirement he joined politics. But returned to the cricket fold by becoming the coach of Goa in 2012-13.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Dodda Ganesh, a right-arm medium-fast bowler, was the most successful bowler for his domestic team, Karnataka, which boasted of other national players like Srinath, Prasad, Kumble and Joshi, in the 1998-1999 season. In his only ODI, against Zimbabwe in 1996-97, he captured a wicket and conceded 20 runs in five overs. He played four Test matches (in South Africa and West Indies) and took five wickets at an average of 57.40. He improved his action later but was unable to force his way back into national reckoning.
