'''Rohan Sunil Gavaskar''' {{audio|Rohan_Gavaskar.ogg|pronunciation}} (born 20 February 1976) is an Indian former [[cricket]]er.

He played in 11 [[One Day International]]s.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Balachandran |first1=Kanishkaa |title=Rohan Gavaskar quits first-class cricket |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22340297/rohan-gavaskar-quits-first-class-cricket |publisher=ESPN CricInfo |date=8 February 2012}}</ref> He was a middle-order left-handed batsman and an occasional [[Left-arm orthodox spin|slow left arm orthodox]] bowler.
Rohan is the son of Indian cricketer [[Sunil Gavaskar]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Rohan Gavaskar turns 44: Candid photos of Sunny's son you must see! |url=https://www.mid-day.com/photos/rohan-gavaskar-turns-44-candid-photos-of-sunnys-son-you-must-see/80630 |publisher=Mid Day |date=4 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Shaikh |first1=Jamal |title=HT Brunch Cover Story: Game night at the Gavaskars' |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/brunch/ht-brunch-cover-story-game-night-at-the-gavaskars/story-rbNTVyBF6j5iKfF2PVLgLL.html |work=Hindustan Times|date=16 February 2020}}</ref>

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

In Indian domestic cricket, he represented [[Bengal cricket team|Bengal]] in the [[Ranji Trophy]], and [[East Zone cricket team|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.<ref name="autogenerated1">[http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/features/interviews/185131-fathers-cricket-genes-propelled-rohan-gavaskar Father's cricket genes propelled Rohan Gavaskar – NDTV Sports]</ref>

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.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

In 2007, Gavaskar signed a contract with [[Indian Cricket League]], playing for the [[Royal Bengal Tigers (sports team)|Kolkata Tigers]] which was declared unauthorised by BCCI.
After breaking his links with the league, and returning to mainstream Indian domestic cricket, he was selected to play in the third season of the [[Indian Premier League]] for the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]]. He played in his last first class match in 2009 and retired in 2012.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/top-stories/Rohan-Gavaskar-retires-from-competitive-cricket/articleshow/11796981.cms|title=Rohan Gavaskar retires from competitive cricket|date=7 February 2012|work=The Times of India|accessdate=8 February 2012}}</ref>

He was one among the 71 players granted amnesty by the BCCI in June 2009, marking his return to the official fold.

Gavaskar announced his retirement from first-class cricket on 9 February 2012. Rohan, who played his first-class cricket for Bengal, scored 5073 runs in 75 matches at 51.24.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

==International career==

Gavaskar was selected for the [[Indian cricket team]] to tour [[Australia]] in 2004, and made his [[One Day International|ODI]] debut after [[Mohammad Kaif]] was forced out of the team due to injury.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rediff.co.in/cricket/2004/jan/03rohan.htm|title=Rohan Gavaskar to replace Kaif|accessdate=3 January 2004}}</ref> He did not make a lasting impression on the international game, and his last ODI came during the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy]].

==Media career==

Like his father, Rohan followed commentating career post-retirement. He has been seen on doing commentary in [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] 2013 and shows on [[Star Sports (Indian TV network)|Star Sports]]' Star Power and [[NDTV]]'s sports show.

==Personal life==
He was given the names Rohan Jaivishwa by his father as a tribute to his 3 favourite cricketers – [[Rohan Kanhai|''Rohan'' Kanhai]]; [[M. L. Jaisimha|M. L. ''Jai''simha]]; and Rohan's uncle, [[Gundappa Vishwanath|Gundappa ''Vishwa''nath]]<ref>

although his name is usually recorded as Rohan Sunil Gavaskar. He studied at [[St. Xaviers Collegiate School]], Kolkata, [[Bombay Scottish School, Mahim|Bombay Scottish School]], and then [[Ramniranjan Anandilal Podar College of Commerce and Economics]].

Rohan is married to his childhood sweetheart, Swati Mankar.<ref>[http://www.hinduonnet.com/2003/04/03/stories/2003040307201200.htm Rohan Gavaskar weds], 3 April 2003, ''[[The Hindu]]''. Retrieved on 5 September 2008.</ref>
