'''Vasant Baburao Ranjane''' {{audio|Vasant_Ranjane.ogg|pronunciation}} (22 July 1937 – 22 December 2011<ref>http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/546594.html</ref>) was an [[India]]n [[cricket]]er who played in 7 [[Test cricket|Tests]] between 1958 and 1964.

Vasant Ranjane was a 'slightly built, unlikely looking figure for an opening bowler' who relied more on line and length than speed for his wickets,<ref name ="Sujit">Sujit Mukherjee, ''Playing for India'', Orient Longman (1988)</ref> but could 'swing both ways and cut the ball off the seam'.<ref>Christopher Martin-Jenkins, ''The Complete Who's Who of Test cricketers''</ref>

As a young boy, Ranjane used to frequent the grounds of the Shivaji Preparatory School grounds in [[Poona]] where [[Madhusudan Rege]] used to coach. He put this to practice at the Sangam Wadi Union Club, from where he was picked by the talent scouts of the Vilas Club. This paved the way for playing in the first division and first class cricket.<ref name="Sportstar">G. Viswanath, ''The Forgotten Figure'', Sportstar, 29 September 1984</ref>

Ranjane had a fabulous start to his [[first class cricket|first class]] career when he took nine wickets for 35 in an innings on his debut (13 for 71 in the match) including a [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]] for [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]] against [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]] in 1956–57.<ref>[http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/22/22268.html Scorecard of Maharashtra v Saurashtra, 1956–57]</ref> The role was reversed when he played his first Test two years later against [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] at [[Green Park, Kanpur]], when his only wicket was the one missed by [[Subhash Gupte]] who took 9 for 102. He was hit on the thigh by a full toss from [[Wes Hall]] while batting and was unable to bowl in the second innings.<ref>Indian Cricket Annual, 1959-60, p.90</ref> [[Surendranath (cricketer)|Surendranath]] replaced him in the next Test.

He was recalled to the Test side three years later against England where he took ten wickets in three Tests. This was followed by the tour to West Indies in 1961–62. Partly due to the presence off too many [[all-rounder]]s in the side, Ranjane played only in the final Test where he took the wickets of [[Conrad Hunte]], [[Rohan Kanhai]], [[Gary Sobers]] and [[Frank Worrell]].

Ranjane came from a very poor background. After his father, who was a factory worker, died when Ranjane was ten, his mother worked as a maid in a hospital to support the family. Ranjane dropped out of the school after the seventh standard. He managed to find a job as a fitter in the [[Indian Railways]] where he continued till 1994, but it was hardly sufficient to maintain his six children.<ref name="Cashman">Richard Cashman, ''Patrons, players and the crowd'', Orient Longman (1980), p. 92</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.punekhel.com/Hall_Of_Fame.htm |title=Pune's Hall Of Fame |access-date=9 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930010323/http://www.punekhel.com/Hall_Of_Fame.htm |archive-date=30 September 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

When his sufferings got exposure in the media in the early 1980s, the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] allotted him a benefit match at [[Nagpur]] between India and the touring West Indies side in 1983. He also received an [[ex gratia]] payment from the BCCI when his house was damaged in the floods in Poona in the 1960s. His son Subhash played cricket for Maharashtra.
