Ajit Bhalchandra Agarkar (pronounced [əˈdʒɪt aːˈɡəɾkəɾ] . Born 4 December 1977) is a former Indian cricketer and commentator. He was considered a bowling all-rounder. He is known for his fast bowling skills, particularly his pace and ability to take wickets. He is the third highest wicket-taker for India in One Day Internationals (ODIs). He has been the current chairman of the BCCI selection committee since 4 July 2023. He has represented India in more than 200 international matches across all three formats of the game. He was part of the Indian squads which won the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy and the 2007 T20 World Cup and finished as runners up at the 2003 Cricket World Cup and the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy. He was the Chairman of Selection Committee for the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. He played for the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, and captained Mumbai to its 40th Ranji Trophy title in 2013. He made his Test and ODI debuts in 1998 and T20I debut in 2006. In 2013, Agarkar announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Post-retirement, he began a new career as a cricket analyst. He holds the record for the quickest 50 in ODIs by an Indian coming off just 21 balls (against Zimbabwe in 2000).
