Eknath Dhondu Solkar audio|Eknath_Solkar.ogg|pronunciation (March 18 1948 in MumbaiJune 26 2005 in Mumbai) was an Indian all-round cricketer who played 27 Tests and seven One Day Internationals for his country. He was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra, and died in the same city at the age of 57.

Solkar was renowned for his excellent close fielding, and his catches helped India to victory against England at The Oval in 1971, the team's first Test win in England.

His 53 catches in only 27 matches is the best ratio of any non keeper with 20 or more Tests. He is responsible for one of cricket's most celebrated quotes, directed at Geoffrey Boycott: "I will out you bloody."
