Profile
An attacking opening batsman, Satyajit Parab has been one of the mainstays
of Baroda's batting line-up over the last three seasons. He started off in
the middle order, but the runs began to flow when he moved up to open the
innings. Like most batsmen from the subcontinent, Parab is a fine
strokeplayer, but his defensive technique has often been questioned. That
didn't prevent him from scoring a bucketful of runs in 2000-01, though, when
Baroda won the Ranji Trophy. Parab scored 809 runs at 58, and followed that
up with 895 runs at an average of 56 in 2002-03. His consistency in the
domestic circuit - and a knee injury to Akash Chopra - won him a place in
the India A squad for the tour to England, but he played only two matches, passed over often for other opening batsmen such as Shiv Sunder Das, Wasim Jaffer and S Sriram. His age, coupled with his average abilities as a fielder, makes it highly unlikely that he will break into the national team. (S Rajesh)
