Profile

Rohan Gavaskar may forever have to bear the mark of being the not-so-famous son of a famous father. Sunil Gavaskar's near-impeccable technique and rock-steady temperament have not echoed in Rohan perhaps as much as he would have liked. His left-handed batting is more attacking - and vulnerable - than his father's, and he bowls a slow, gentle left-arm spin that has picked up crucial wickets at times for Bengal. 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. Dropped for the subsequent tour to Pakistan, he was given another lifeline at the start of the 2004-05 season. Appointed captain of Bengal in 2001-02, he had two poor seasons as leader.
