Claim to fame: He has the distinction of being the only batsman to score a century on debut (104) batting at number 10.

Comment by Muralidaran Ramesh Somasunderam
The IPL is not good for the game. It portraits the wrong image with money and glamour, when the game needs quality Test teams to be competitive against the Australian national team, and beat them in given Test series, such as the England national team did in the last Ashes series that was played in England. Therefore, to state that IPL is good for the games is incorrect, and if the IPL is good for the game why is the Indian Board of Control for Cricket in India and the International Cricket Council jointly not promoting the game in Europe, South East Asia, the Middle East and the United States to name a few regions. The reason for this is to keep the power, money and position within certain quarters, which is most unfortunate. The next aspect is providing effective infrastructure faculties to under privileged communities with the cricket world to promote the game proactively. This is not happening, but a few flim stars, cheerleaders and the Indian public, who like the game of cricket, but are doing extremely well financially do seem to enjoy the game, not forgetting the television audiences around India and around the world. But again this does not promote Test Cricket, nor does it produce quality test players or countries. Please realise that this will only spoil mediocre players to think that they are great players, such as M. S. Dhoni, who will struggle to hold his spot in a quality State team in Australia, because he has tremendous weaknesses in regard to his batting technically and is a solid wicket keeper, but not a quality one, at least at the present moment. He is paid very heavily, but for only swinging from his bootlaces, not for playing good quality cricket.
Yours Faithfully,
M. R. Somasunderam.
