Profile
When Lala Amarnath was chairman of the selection committee, he encouraged many youngsters by giving them the big break. One of them was Sunderam, who played two Tests against New Zealand in 1955-56. A medium pacer who played for Mumbai and then for Rajasthan, Sunderam did well enough in his restricted appearances. Confronted by a featherbed Kotla pitch on his debut, he sent down 39 overs to take one wicket, that of JW Guy for 99 runs. The fact that New Zealand lost only two wickets while scoring 450 runs enhances this performance. In the next Test at Calcutta, he took the wickets of opening batsman JG Leggat and John Reid for 46 runs off 21 overs. But he never got another chance to represent the country. In a fairly long first-class career, which stretched throughout the fifties and sixties, Sunderam was quite successful, taking 127 wickets (26.10). Partab
