Gunwant Desai (born 30 January 1941) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Railways in India from 1968 to 1974.

Desai was a highly effective opening bowler for Railways in the Ranji Trophy, averaging nearly five wickets a match at a very low average and with a strike-rate of a wicket every 34.75 balls.[1] He took 12 wickets in the match (7 for 46 and 5 for 24) in the innings victory over Haryana in 1971-72.[2]

In 1974-75 he set a Railways record for match figures that still stands when he took 13 for 77 (8 for 54 and 5 for 23) in another innings victory, this time over Services.[3] He also made his highest score in the same match when, batting as usual at number 11, he made 29 of a tenth-wicket stand of 30.[4]

He was never selected to play for North Zone in the Duleep Trophy. He twice played in Ranji Trophy quarter-finals, each time against Rajasthan. The second time, in 1973-74, he felled the Test batsman Salim Durani with a bouncer, and Durani had to be taken to hospital for an operation and played no further part in the match. Rajasthan won narrowly on their first-innings lead. Railways were 241 for 9 when Desai went to the crease, needing 15 for the lead, but he was bowled for a duck.[5][6]
