The son of a enowned coach from Mumbai, Vasu Paranjpe, Jatin had an impressive first-class career with Mumbai, averaging over 46 but could not replicate the same at the international level. He played only four ODIs for India in 1998, averaging 18, with the highest score of 27.

In the first match of the 1998 Sahara Cup in Toronto, he made a run-a-ball 23 to play a small role in India's victory. However, he hurt his ankle in the field during the same tournament and was forced to fly back home. The unfortunate incident signalled the abrupt end of his international career.

Having retired from first-class cricket in the 2000-2001 season, he was appointed national selector in 2016, then removed from the post in January 2017, along with Gagan Khoda, for not being ex-Test players as per Lodha committee recommendations, only to be reinstated in August 2018.
