Mumbai: Vasudeo Jagannath Paranjape, or Vasoo Paranjape, a noted cricket coach who mentored many cricketers in the city and had a huge influence on India greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, and Dilip Vengsarkar, passed away at 2.30pm at his Matunga residence on Monday. He was suffering from Parkinson’s disease and was 82. He is survived by his wife Lalita Paranjape and three children- a son and two daughters. His son Jatin Paranjape is a former India batsman and an ex-national selector.
Paranjape’s funeral took place at 9pm at Shivaji Park crematorium.
He played 28 First-Class matches for Mumbai, in which he scored 785 runs@23.78, including two hundreds and an equal number of fifties, but his major contribution to the game lay in guiding the likes of Tendulkar, Gavaskar, Vengsarkar, and Sanjay Manjrekar early in their career. Both Gavaskar and Vengsarkar played for Dadar Union under him.
