Rohan Sunil Gavaskar About this sound pronunciation  born 20 February 1976 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh is a former Indian cricketer.

He played in 11 One Day Internationals. He was a specialist middle-order left-handed batsman and an occasional slow left arm orthodox bowler. Rohan is the son of the famous cricketer Sunil Gavaskar.

He batted left-handed, and bowled a slow, gentle left-arm spin that picked up crucial wickets at times for Bengal. Having spent many years in the shadow of his more illustrious father, Sunil.

In Indian domestic cricket, he represented Bengal in the Ranji Trophy, and East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. Since Mumbai had great batting line-up at that time and he wouldn't have got the opportunity to play first-class cricket for Mumbai immediately. He would have to wait for another one or two years, which he didn't want to. Bengal gave him that opportunity and he grabbed it.

His first-class average keeps him forever on the fringes of higher honours, and he was a serious contender for a national one-day slot for quite a while before he finally got his chance, against Australia in the 2003-04 VB Series.

He was dropped for the subsequent tour to Pakistan, he was again tried at the start of the 2004-05 season. Appointed captain of Bengal in 2001-02 but the two seasons as leader were poor. He was having regret for not winning the Ranji Trophy for Bengal. They were twice in the finals in consecutive years, but couldn't win it.
