Jatin Paranjpe pronunciation  (born 17 April 1972, in Bombay, Maharashtra) is an Indian cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm orthodox bowler. Married to Gandhali Bendre, sister of Sonali Bendre (Bollywood Actress), Jatin Paranjpe was a middle-order batsman who played briefly at the international level in 1998, before an ankle injury forced him out of the national team. Vasu Paranjpe (b 1938), Jatin's father, was a former Ranji Trophy player in 1960s and a renowned coach at the National Cricket Academy. It took Jatin seven years from his Ranji debut in 1991/92 season to get the attention of the national selectors. He made a total of 606 runs in four Ranji trophy outings and guaranteed himself a place in the national team. He was part of the India ‘A’ tour of Pakistan where he did not perform well. Another solitary ODI appearance came in a triangular series involving Kenya and Bangladesh.
