Sanath Kumar (born 12 December 1962) is a former Indian first-class cricketer and the former head coach of Assam, Karnataka and Baroda. Kumar played for Karnataka cricket team from 1985/86 to 1988/89. He identified the potential of Hardik Pandya who used to bowl leg spin at that time, as a fast bowling allrounder while coaching Baroda[1]
