Rohan Sunil Gavaskar audio|Rohan_Gavaskar.ogg|pronunciation (born 20 February 1976 in Uttar Pradesh) is a Indian cricketer who has played in 11 One Day Internationals. He is a specialist middle-order left-handed batsman and an occasional slow left arm orthodox bowler. He studied at Bombay Scottish School.

Having spent many years in the shadow of his more illustrious father, Sunil, he was selected for the Indian cricket team to tour Australia in 2004 and made his ODIs debut after Mohammad Kaif was forced out of the team due to injury. He did not make a lasting impression on the international game, and his ODI came during the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy.

In Indian domestic cricket, he represented Bengal in the Ranji Trophy and East Zone in the Duleep Trophy.

He was given the names Rohan Jaivishwa by his father as a tribute to his 3 favourite cricketers - "Rohan" Kanhai, ML "Jai"simha and Rohan's uncle, Gundappa "Vishwa"nath, [ [http://cricket.expressindia.com/fulleistory.php?content_id=58106 V.V.S. Laxman bats for new cause] , 10 November 2005. Press Trust on India. Retrieved on 5 September 2008.] however, his name is usually recorded as Rohan Sunil Gavaskar.

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

In 2007, Gavaskar signed a contract with the Indian Cricket League, playing for the Kolkata Tigers.
