Adwai Raghuram Bhat (Kannada: ರಘುರಾಮ್ ಭಟ್) pronunciation (born April 16, 1958, Puttur, Mysore State) is a former Indian cricketer who played in 2 Tests in 1983.
Raghuram Bhat dominated school and junior level games. After some fine performances, he made his Ranji trophy debut in the 1979-80 season against Tamil Nadu at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. He had a slow start to his career taking just one wicket on his debut game. He soon found success at the Ranji level. In just his 6th first class game he picked up 9 wickets against Kerala at Davangere. In the quarterfinal against Punjab he took 9 wickets to help Karnataka reach the semifinals.
Raghuram Bhat is chiefly remembered for the role he played in Karnataka's victory in the semifinal against Bombay. The 1981-82 Ranji semifinal was played between a strong Bombay team and Karnataka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Bombay had at their disposal some of the then current stars of the Indian cricket team, including Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Ashok Mankad, Sandeep Patil, Ravi Shastri and Balwinder Sandhu.
