<br />
Salunkhe shot to fame when he was chosen as 'Man of the Series' in the first season of [[Cricket Star]], India's first-ever cricket talent-hunting [[reality television]] show. [http://www.theinfosage.com/news/130/ARTICLE/11171/2007-09-21.html] His prize was a scholarship with [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club]] for the 2007 English cricket season.

== Indian Premier League ==<br />
Dinesh Salunkhe represented the victorious [[Rajasthan Royals]] in the inaugural edition of the [[Indian Premier League]] in 2008.<br />
Salunkhe was a lower-order batsman for the Royals, who impressed with the bat in his debut, scoring 26 runs. He kept up a steady average in the lower order, though he was only twice called up to bowl, capturing just one wicket. Salunkhe was not picked for the semi-final or final of the competition, however, with his final game coming in the last preliminary round match against [[Kings XI Punjab]].<br />
<br />
On 15 April 2009, he was axed by Rajasthan Royals, citing his poor form for the omission from the squad for the 2009 season.<ref>http://cricket.ndtv.com/cricket/ndtvcricket/storypage/ndtv/id/spoen20090090891/story15042009_180700.html</ref><br />
