A right-handed batsman who usually batted at number three, Dalvi made his first-class debut in 1966-67 while studying at Delhi University. In his fifth game that season he made 158, his first century, and 45 for Delhi against Services in the Ranji Trophy, top-scoring in each innings.[3]
He moved south in 1967 to play for Madras. After moderate seasons in 1967-68 and 1968-69 he was more successful in 1969–70, with 347 runs at an average of 49.57,[4] including 134 and 21 not out in the victory over Andhra, again top-scoring in each innings, in the first match of the season.[5] He was selected to play for an Indian Board President's XI against the touring New Zealanders and for South Zone against the touring Australians.
In 1970-71 he hit 108 for Tamil Nadu in the Gopalan Trophy match against Ceylon.[6] He began the 1974–75 season with 19 and 108 against Hyderabad[7] and 121 against Karnataka,[8] and a few weeks later scored 179 against Sri Lanka,[9] which is the highest score in the Gopalan Trophy by a Tamil Nadu batsman. He scored 112 and 79 not out in South Zone's victory over Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy in 1975–76.[10]
After a moderate season in 1976-77 he moved to Bengal, where he played for five seasons with a top score of 151 against Assam in 1977–78 in his first innings for his new team.[11] He also played several times for East Zone, scoring 112 against the touring West Indians in 1978–79.[12] He retired after the 1981–82 season.
