Sachin Sanjay Dhas

Sachin Dhas is a right-handed middle-order batter from Beed, Maharashtra, who rose to prominence with his performances for India Under-19. Having developed his game in his hometown from a young age, Dhas became known for his clean striking and ability to take on spin, with his power-hitting earning plenty of attention during his age-group career. He was instrumental in helping Maharashtra win the national U-19 one-day championship (Vinoo Mankad Trophy), finishing as one of the leading run-getters with 440 runs in 9 matches.

His breakthrough on the international stage came at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, where he played a key role in India's run to the final. After scoring an unbeaten 116 against Nepal in the Super Six stage, Dhas produced one of the tournament's defining knocks in the semi-final against South Africa, making 96 off 95 balls after India slipped to 32/4. He joined Uday Saharan in a 171-run partnership that helped India chase down 245 and reach the final. He finished as India’s second-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 303 runs at an average of 60.60. His blistering 116.53 strike rate was the highest among the tournament's top-ten run-scorers, earning him a place in the ICC U-19 Team of the Tournament

Dhas has since progressed into senior domestic cricket with Maharashtra, making his first-class debut in the Ranji Trophy in 2024. He scored a 98 against Mumbai, missing out on a maiden first-class hundred. He has also featured for Kolhapur Tuskers in the Maharashtra Premier League, where his aggressive batting has remained a major part of his game. A right-arm off-break bowler as well, Dhas is primarily utilised for his batting and continues to develop as an exciting young option in Maharashtra's middle order.
