    Dalpat was a lower-order batsman and


    wicket keeper, and represented Pakistan
    for a brief interval in the early 1980s, when
    Wasim Bari was injured. Dalpat has had a
    wider first-class cricket experience and
    career, and is the cousin of Danish
    Kaneria, Pakistan's first-choice spin bowler
    and only the second Hindu to play for
    Pakistan.[2] He lives in the metropolis of
    Karachi, and is of Rajasthani heritage. The
    first Hindu to play Test cricket for Pakistan,
    Anil Dalpat was one of several
    wicketkeepers given a chance after the
    retirement of Wasim Bari.

    Career
    On his debut, against England at Karachi in
    1983–84, Dalpat kept well to the spin of
    Abdul Qadir as Pakistan won by three
    wickets. In his nine Tests, he made 25
    dismissals and a highest score of 52
    against New Zealand at Karachi in 1984–
    85. Dalpat is the first cousin of Danish
    Kaneria, who made his Test debut for
    Pakistan in the 2000–01 series against
    England. In 1983–84 Dalpat dismissed 67
    batsmen, a Pakistan domestic record.
