Rohan Sushil Kunnummal (born 10 May 1998) is an Indian cricketer who represents Kerala in domestic cricket. He is a right-handed opening batsman and occasional right-arm offbreak bowler.[1]

Early life[]

Rohan was born on 10 May 1998 in Palakkad district of Kerala[2] to Sushil S. Kunnummal, an entrepreneur and Krishna M, a Bank Manager. He has a younger sister, Jitha.[3] He was brought up on Koyilandi, Kozhikode.[2]

He was initially trained under his father, a cricket enthusiast and former cricketer. From the age of nine, he is training under coach Santhosh Kumar at Sussex cricket academy, Kozhikode.[4] He pursued a B.A. degree in English literature from Malabar Christian College, Kozhikode.[5]

Domestic career[]

Rohan is an attacking opening batsman. He has represented Kerala in U-14, U-16, U-19 and U-25 competitions.[4] He was the highest scorer for Kerala U-19 team in the 2016-17 Vinoo Mankad Trophy inter-state tournament including a 162 against Goa.[6][7] He scored a total of 464 runs in the 2016-17 Cooch Behar Trophy including an unbeaten 253* against Delhi U-19 team.[8] He has represented India Green in the U-19 NKP Salve Challenger Trophy 2016–17.[9][10]

His performances in Cooch Behar Trophy and Vinoo Mankad Trophy gained Rohan a spot in India under-19 cricket team squad to play the five-match one-day series against England under-19 cricket team starting on 30 January 2017.[9] But he was later removed from the squad as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to let only those players who would be eligible to play the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup to take part in the series.[11][12]

He made his List A debut for Kerala in the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 3 March 2017.[13] He made his Twenty20 debut for Kerala in the 2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on 28 February 2019.[14] He made his first-class debut on 19 January 2020, for Kerala in the 2019–20 Ranji Trophy.[15]

He was the second-highest run-scorer for Kerala in the 2021-22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy scoring 168 runs from 5 matches including two half-centuries.[16] He continued his good form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy season that followed scoring 264 runs from 6 matches top-scoring the Kerala batters.[17]
