Samit Gohil is a record-breaking batting all-rounder who has dominated domestic cricket since his debut during the 2012/13 season.

In 50 plus matches to date, Gohil has racked up well over 3,000 runs with an average above 35. The run machine has also starred in List A cricket too, averaging mid-40s.

Gohil’s journey in domestic cricket originally began with Gujarat, with whom he spent 7 seasons (2012/13-19/20). He really hit his straps during his barnstorming 2016/17 season, hitting 2 centuries including his record-breaking 359* in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Odisha. His innings, which included 45 fours and 1 six, broke numerous records and he now holds the world record for the highest score for an opener carrying his bat. He would go on to help win the Ranji Trophy, beating Mumbai in the final.

His exploits helped secure a UK gig in 2017 and he impressed (328 runs at 41 and 14 wickets at 15.07) in his 8 matches for Wellington Cricket Club (Birmingham League) before returning for India Blue (Duldeep Trophy) commitments.

Since then, he has continued to impress on the domestic circuit with his 2019/20 season his best since his remarkable 2016/17 campaign, hitting 502 runs at 38.61.

The Indian run machine returned abroad in 2022 to play in the Dutch Topklasse competition for Sparta 1888. Unsurprisingly, he excelled, featuring among the leading run-scorers in the top-tier competition in Holland.

Gohil, who is now an ECB accredited coach, then headed down under (2022/23) and enjoyed a barnstorming season with Laanecoorie-Dunolly in the Maryborough & District Cricket Association.

The domestic stand-out, who has relocated with his wife to Canada (October 2023) and has recently been approved permanent residency (January 2024), is now seeking opportunities in America and Canada moving forward.
