“I have had a major shoulder surgery 15 months back and right now I am just looking to get back to bowling well. That’s my priority. I did a huge mistake by making little adjustments to my action and carry on with the injury.

“But Debu Mitra has been a big influence in my initial years and he’s seen me since I was 7-years old. Debu’s seen how I was before things went wrong for me. My dad just told me once, ‘if he can fix my problems, I am sure he’s the man for you’. I took the cue immediately,” he says.

Dilip Doshi is on a vacation accompanying his son, closely monitoring the rehabilitation that has also brought in former India physio John Gloster into the picture. Nayan realises he’s carrying a legacy, and at 30 he believes he still has some time left.

“Dilip Doshi is Dilip Joshi, I can’t be him. So many cricketers have told me that my father had the best bowling action. I have seen him in old videotapes, and I call them up to say they were right. My father indeed had the best bowling action. It’s both good and bad to be a famous father’s son. Thankfully, my father never speaks about my cricket to anyone or even discusses it with me. He’s only my father. I have my own coach and people to talk tactics and action.”

Nayan has been watching England play India in the current series, with keen interest in the bowling of Monty Panesar — whose current loss of form he surely must empathise with.
