He is now a Hindi and English commentator.[citation needed]

Early life
Although born in Kolkata and Bengali by birth, Dasgupta grew up in Delhi.[1]
Education
Dasgupta studied at the Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, New Delhi.[citation needed]
Cricket career
Dasgupta started his career as an opening batsman-wicketkeeper. His ability behind the stumps and on the crease placed him to become a reliable member of the Bengal Ranji Squad. [citation needed]
Dasgupta was included in India's squad to South Africa in 2001. His debut series was an eventful one, in which the famous incident involving match referee Mike Denness took place. Dasgupta was one of the six cricketers along with Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Saurav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh, and Shiv Sunder Das to be banned by Denness for one Test. While Tendulkar was banned for ball-tampering, Ganguly, the captain, was banned for his 'inability to control the behavior of his team'. The rest, including Dasgupta, were suspended for excessive appealing.[1]
Dasgupta scored a century against England at Mohali in the first Test of the 2001-02 series.[2]
Later he continued with Bengal in the Ranji trophy. Deep Dasgupta has been one of the most successful captains the Bengal Ranji team has ever had. He is only the second captain after Sambaran Banerjee to lead the team to two Ranji Trophy finals in consecutive seasons (06-07). Both times they lost to Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai respectively.[citation needed]
Cricket commentary
Dasgupta is currently a commentator in India and can be seen doing that very often during the Indian Premier League and was also the part of commentary team during the ICC World T20 2016 in India.
Personal life
After a courtship of three years, Dasgupta married Amrita.[1]
