Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
His love for cricket probably is worthy of being made into a feature film. One can imagine his dedication towards the game by understanding the fact that for cricket practice every morning, he used to travel 40 miles to Hubbali and then return to his town Gadag in time for school.
Joshi was selected to play for India after an impressive Ranji season in 1995/96. With an extraordinary double of 500 runs and 50 wickets that season, Joshi was knocking on the doors of the Indian team. His opportunity wasn't far away either as he was picked to play against England in 1996. He made his debut in the first Test at Edgbaston.
With Anil Kumble already in the team, Joshi's role was that of a secondary spinner, who could also provide some runs lower down the order. Even though Joshi was a regular in the national squad during 1996-2001, he was not picked for the 1999 World Cup.
His best bowling performance came during the LG Cup in 1999. In the second ODI match against South Africa, he took 5/6 in his quota of 10 overs as South Africa were bundled out for just 117. India went on to win the game by 8 wickets and he was rightly adjudged the Man of the Match. Joshi though has also been criticized for being extremely slow through the air from time to time, which in turn gives the batsman extra time to adjust.
Sunil Joshi participated in 160 first-class matches, taking 615 wickets and making 5129 runs in almost two decades. In 2004, he represented Bedfordshire County Cricket Club for a brief period in England. He was also part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team in the first two seasons of the IPL and stayed under contract till 2010. He formally announced his retirement from first-class cricket on June 21, 2012.
After retirement, Joshi had taken up coaching jobs. He has coached Hyderabad cricket team as well as the Jammu and Kashmir team. In June 2015, Joshi announced that he will participate in the 2015 season of KPL and he will play for the All Stars Celebrity Cricket team owned by Sandalwood actor Sudeep.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Wisden Overview
A burning passion for cricket at a young age inspired Sunil Joshi to travel 40 miles to Hubli each morning for practice, and then return to his native town of Gadag in time for school. In 1995-96, his orthodox left-arm spin, delivered with the silkiest action seen since the days of Bishan Bedi, and some free-swinging lower-order batting took him to an unprecedented Ranji Trophy double of 500 runs and 50 wickets. It earned him a ticket to England with the Indian team, but a broken finger forced him to return home without bowling a ball on his Test debut. Joshi has had some champagne moments since, such as an astonishing spell of 10-6-6-5 spell in a one-dayer against South Africa, but it's been more a case of just maintaining par, and often slipping below it. Joshi has sometimes been criticised for being too slow through the air - and so too easy to hit over the top - and for not having the stomach for a battle. Rahul Bhattacharya
