Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Martin, known for notching up tall scores, came into prominence when he cracked more than 1,000 runs in the Ranji Trophy in 1998-99. He made his debut in a ODI against West Indies in Toronto in 1999. He was also selected to tour Australia in 1999-00.
In what turned out to be a tough tour for India, Martin showed glimpses of his potential. In the tri-series, Martin gave a good account of himself on a trampoline WACA wicket against Pakistan. While facing up to a strong Pakistani attack, he showed good temperament and defence. Unfortunately, he was run-out quite a few times during that tournament. After that tour, Martin found himself in the wilderness.
Martin didn't lose heart as he had a fabulous 2000-01 season when he yet again amassed over 1,000 runs in First-Class cricket. He was picked for the tri-series in South Africa in 2001. Unfortunately, he only played a couple of games against Kenya. He didn't get the chance to wear his cap for India again.
Martin though, continued to perform well in the domestic circuit. He hung up his spiked boots after the 2008-09 First-Class season.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Even though Jacob Martin did not exactly set the Yarra on fire on the tour of Australia in 1999-2000, he did give enough evidence in his batting style that, if encouraged, he could be a long-term prospect. In the first place, no can question Martin's insatiable appetite for runs. One of only half a dozen players in the history of the Ranji Trophy championship to get over 1000 runs in a season, Martin, thanks to his great deeds for Baroda during 1998-99, became a nationally known figure. He was one of those who forced their way into the Indian team by strong performances around the domestic circuit. But unlike some others who also made the grade on similar credentials, Martin showed that he was made of sterner stuff.
In addition to his hunger for runs, Martin has the right approach and an ideal temperament and has the makings of a solid middle-order batsman. He was perhaps a bit unfortunate in that he was run out so often in Australia, more often than not because of some superb work in the field. But as he showed while making 39 in a losing cause against Pakistan in the Carlton & United series, he has a wide range of strokes, coupled with impeccable timing and technique. He is one who should be judged not just on facts and figures, but on style and attitude.
Martin shifted allegiance to Railways in the 2002-03 domestic season before returning to represent Baroda for four more seasons. He announced his retirement in the middle of the 2007-08 season - a decision taken hastily after selection issues - but decided to revert his decision and return for the 2008-09 season.
