Jacob Joseph Martin ( pronunciation ) (born 11 May 1972 in Baroda, Gujarat) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed middle-order batsman. Martin has appeared 10 times for India at One Day International level, but never in Test cricket, at the turn of the 21st century. He captained Baroda cricket team in the Indian domestic circuit.
Martin made his first-class debut for Baroda in the 1991–92 season in the Ranji Trophy. In his debut match, he took 5 wickets in an innings against Gujarat and scored a 50. However, Martin came to be regarded as a specialist batsman and an occasional part-time spin bowler — to date, he has a total of 9 first-class wickets including the 5 he took on debut.
He has played for Baroda throughout his career except during the 2002-03 season when he played for Railways. He has also captained Baroda on a regular basis from the 2000-01 season onwards, winning the Ranji Trophy in 2000-01 and finishing as runners-up the following season.
