Gopal Sharma pronunciation (born August 3, 1960, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh) is a former Indian cricketer who played in 5 Tests and 11 ODIs from 1985 to 1990. He was an off-spinner but was overshadowed by the spinners of the day for a place in the international squad - Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, Maninder Singh, Arshad Ayub, Shivlal Yadav, Ravi Shastri and Narendra Hirwani.
He was the first person from Uttar Pradesh to represent India (though Maharajah of Vizianagram represented India in 1936). Mohammad Kaif remains the only other person to have represented India in Test Matches.
He was a member of the India Selection Committee representing the Central Zone in 2004/05 season[1].
