Career

Jain was a slow left-arm orthodox spinner who played for Delhi for four seasons from 1986/87 to 1989/90, before his 11-year stint with Haryana. He appeared in a total of 93 first-class and 39 List A matches, some of them for North Zone and Board President's XI. He had a successful time during his career with Haryana, finishing as the leading wicket-taker of the 1993–94 Ranji Trophy with 46 scalps at an average of 17.69 including six five-wicket hauls and two ten-wicket hauls.[1] He was the fourth highest-wicket taker of 1996–97 Ranji Trophy in which he took 44 wickets at 19.61 a piece.[2] In the following Ranji season, he finished third on the wicket-takers list with 44 wickets to his name.[3]

After retiring, Jain took up the job of cricket coaching. In 2005, he became one of the coaches of the National Sports Club of India's newly started cricket academy.[4] He also became one of the coaches of the Dronacharya Cricket Foundation in Delhi started by Gurcharan Singh.[5]

gollark: I really should write up and send in a proposal for part-time remote school.
gollark: Hmm, apparently opening universities would be horrible and bad for public health but schools are fine? This is very inconsistent.
gollark: Spider powers.
