Binod Bhandari (Nepali: विनोद भण्डारी) (born 25 January 1990) is a Nepalese cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and an occasional wicket-keeper. He made his debut for Nepal against Kuwait in November 2009.
He is also the captain of Nepal Army Club in the National League and Sagarmatha Legends in the Nepal Premier League. He also represents the Pentagon International College, which plays in the SPA Cup.
Binod Bhandari had a very special start to his international career. Binod scored a last ball six to bring victory from jaws of defeat for Nepal in his debut match against Kuwait in 2009 ACC Twenty20 Cup. Nepal needed 7 runs to win and Binod playing his first match was in strike, he heaved the ball for a six and the match was tied, eventually Nepal won the match then in Bowl-out and Binod became crowd favorite. He showed glimpses of his attacking batting in his very first match for Nepal.
After the blitz against Kuwait, Binod's adventure in the national fold remained a silent one before he confirmed his permanent arrival with his two sixes against the UAE in the 2013 ACC Twenty20 Cup semi-final handed Nepal a maiden final spot. His power-packed performance in the final of the National Twenty20 saw Nepal Army Club end APF Club hegemony in the domestic cricket.
