Life and career
A right-handed opening batsman, Bharucha first played as an overseas player for the Reigate Priory Cricket Club in England as an 18-year-old and represented the club for several years. He appeared in 17 first-class and 11 List A matches, playing for Bombay, and scored a hundred on his first-class debut in November 1992. He was part of the Bombay team in its 1993–94 Ranji Trophy victory. In the 1994–95 Irani Cup match for Bombay against Rest of India, Bharucha scored his career-best unbeaten 164 and helped his team win the trophy. He also represented India Youth XI and Surrey.
Bharucha runs the World Cricket Academy in Mumbai where many Test cricketers have trained. In 2008, he became the team director of the Indian Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals and continued in that position until the team's suspension in 2015. He also worked as the team's head coach in 2012. During his stint with the Royals, he made technical analysis of players based on video footage collected from around the world, and scouted for talented Indian cricketers. He helped Yuvraj Singh on his footwork in the late-2000s and worked with the England and Wales Cricket Board on technical aspects of the game.
