Ramesh Powar has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket and was crucial to Mumbai's Ranji Trophy success in the 2002-03 season. His 20 wickets was useful enough, but even more crucial was the runs he contributed. He ended up with the second-highest aggregate for Mumbai in the tournament, scoring 418 runs at more than 46, with most of those runs coming when his team was in strife. He made to the Indian squad for the tour to Pakistan. An ideal bits-and-pieces player, Powar returned to the one-day side early in 2006, now armed with a new delivery - a drifter - which helped him to 63 domestic wickets in 2005-06, after 54 the previous season. Again he impressed with both bat and ball, although some critics made disparaging remarks about his waistline.
