Lt. Col. Chandrasekhar Vaman Gadkari {{errorTemplate:Main other|Audio file "Chandrashekhar_Gadkari.ogg" not found}}Template:Category handler (3 February 1928 – 11 January 1998) was an Indian Test cricketer and army officer.
Gadkari was an attacking batsman, medium-pace bowler and a great fielder. He made a fine impression as a fielder in the 1952/53 tour to West Indies in an Indian side that was noted for its fielding. He made 50 not out in the Georgetown Test, which remained his highest Test score. His other tour was to Pakistan in 1954/55. Gadkari co-holds the Test record with Shafiq Ahmed for the most matches played in a career without either winning or losing – 6.[1]
Gadkari was commissioned into the army in 1949 and rose to become a lieutenant colonel. He represented Services in the Ranji Trophy thereafter. Army duties restricted his appearances in first-class cricket. He died in 1998 after a brief illness.
