Ramesh Powar is an Indian off-spinner who had a short stay with the Indian team during the years 2004-2007. He travelled to PAK with the Indian team where he made his debut in Rawalpindi. In his couple of matches, he was economical but remained wicketless and therefore he was dropped. After having a good domestic season Powar was recalled and impressed immediately with his 3 wicket haul against ENG.

He played a total of 31 ODIs for the Men in Blue and picked up 34 wickets. After Kumble’s retirement in the home Test series of 2007 against AUS, Dhoni was given the mantle of captaincy for full-time. His first assignment was the 7 match ODI series against the Kangaroos.

At that time Ramesh Powar was a regular in the side because of his economical bowling. The first tie of the series was played at Chennai where Powar conceded 50 runs in 6 overs, but the rain gods intervened and the game was abandoned. In the second match again Powar finished with 0/30 in 5 overs which prompted the team to drop him, and as a result, he played only 2 games under the new skipper.
