Bhagawati, also known as Don, was a talented right-hand batsman and bowled right-arm medium pace and represented Assam in first-class and List A matches.[1] He made his first-class debut on 13 February 1995 at the age of 16 and became the youngest player from Assam to play first-class cricket and his final appearance came when he was only 20.
