Bhosle was a middle-order batsman and occasional leg-spin bowler who came close to national selection for some years in the 1960s.[1][2] He spent most of the first half of his career with Maharashtra and the second half with Bombay. He also represented West Zone from 1963-64 to 1968-69. The highest of his 17 centuries was 208 for Bombay against Rajasthan in the semi-final of the 1968–69 Ranji Trophy.[3] His best bowling figures were 7 for 77 in the 1962-63 Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament.[4]
