Divakar Vasu (born 11 December 1967) is a former Indian first-class cricketer who played for Tamil Nadu between the 1988/89 and 1998/99 seasons. After retirement, he became a cricket coach.

Life and career

Vasu started his career as a batsman, before developing into an all-rounder who bowled left-arm medium pace. He changed his bowling style to slow left-arm orthodox after he met with a bike accident in 1993 which fractured three bones in his left ankle. In 1995, he lost vision in his left eye.[1]

Representing Tamil Nadu for eleven seasons from 1988/89 to 1998/99 and Assam for one match in 2003/04, Vasu appeared in 76 first-class and 41 List A matches during his career. He also played for South Zone cricket team and Board President's XI. He was the second-highest wicket-taker in 1994–95 Ranji Trophy with 34 wickets at an average of 17.94.[2] Despite a successful career as an all-rounder, Vasu was never selected for the national team. He continued to play in Tamil Nadu Cricket Association first division at the conclusion of his first-class career.

Vasu worked as a coach at the National Cricket Academy[3] before becoming a bowling coach for International Cricket Council, the Board of Control for Cricket in India as well as the Indian Premier League.[4] Vasu, along with M. Venkataramana, helped Pragyan Ojha correct his bowling action in 2015.[5]

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, he was appointed head coach of Tamil Nadu.[6][7]
