Dnyaneshwar Agashe (17 April 1942 – 2 January 2009) was an Indian businessman, cricketer, cricket administrator and philanthropist. He was chairman and managing director of Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate, chairman of Kolhapur Steel and founder of Suvarna Sahakari Bank and Mandar Printing Press. He was vice-president of Board of Control for Cricket in India from 1995 to 1999. He became a member of the Maharashtra Cricket Association in 1969 and became the association's executive chairman in 1989.
Agashe and his family came into public scandal in 2008, in the Suvarna Sahakari Bank scam. While in judicial custody, Agashe died of complications from diabetes.
A wicketkeeper-batsman, Agashe played first-class cricket for Maharashtra between 1962 and 1968 and scored two half-centuries in 13 matches. His best season came in 1964–65 where he made his career-best 75, took ten catches and made two stampings, before he went on to become a vice-president of the BCCI.
Agashe was born on 17 April 1942, into an entrepreneurial Chitpavan brahmin family of industrialist Chandrashekhar Agashe and wife Indirabai Agashe (née Dwarka Gokhale). Agashe's father founded the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate in 1934. Agashe was born third from last and was one of nine surviving children.
Agashe was educated at Raman Baug High School and was awarded a BA degree by Sir Parshurambhau College. He also had a BCom degree from Brihan Maharashtra College of Commerce. Agashe began competitively playing cricket in school, touring Sri Lanka. He was wicketkeeper and middle order batsman when he went on to play the Ranji Trophy from 1967 to 1973, representing his home state of Maharashtra.
