Umesh Narayan Kulkarni (born 7 March 1942) is a former Indian cricketer who played four Test matches for India in 1967–68 on the tour to Australia and New Zealand.
A left-arm fast-medium bowler, Kulkarni played domestic cricket in India, mostly for Bombay, from 1963–64 to 1969–70. His best first-class figures were 4 for 43 for India against Ceylon in 1964–65.[2] He was selected for the 1967–68 tour to Australia and New Zealand despite having taken only four wickets in four matches in the 1966–67 season in India.[3] He played in four of the eight Tests on the tour, taking five wickets.[4]
After the tour, injuries ended Kulkarni's playing career. He later worked for the Tata Group.[1]
