Tirumalsetti Suman is an opening batsman from Hyderabad who came up through the age groups and into his state's Ranji team. An aggressive batsman, Suman has been playing at junior level consistently from the age of 13. After captaining Hyderabad Under-16s he came into the Ranji probables in 2001, and in the same year made himself noticed with good scores against England U-19s and a run of aggressive centuries. Predominantly a front foot player, Suman's batting hero is the Australian Damien Martyn. Suman made his first-class debut in 2003-04 and has been in and out of the Hyderabad team. Given an opportunity in the 2009 IPL in South Africa, Suman has been consistent if not spectacular, helping Deccan Chargers with cameos at the top and breaking partnerships with his tidy offspin.
