Umesh Narayan Kulkarni (born 7 March 1942) is a former Indian cricketer who played four Test matches for India in 1967âÂÂ68 on the tour to Australia and New Zealand.
A left-arm fast-medium bowler, Kulkarni played domestic cricket in India, mostly for Bombay, from 1963âÂÂ64 to 1969âÂÂ70. His best first-class figures were 4 for 43 for India against Ceylon in 1964âÂÂ65. He was selected for the 1967âÂÂ68 tour to Australia and New Zealand despite having taken only four wickets in four matches in the 1966âÂÂ67 season in India. He played in four of the eight Tests on the tour, taking five wickets.
After the tour, injuries ended Kulkarni's playing career. He later worked for the Tata Group.
