'''Gundibail Rama Sunderam''' {{audio|Gundibail_Sunderam.ogg|pronunciation}} (29 March 1930, [[Udupi]] – 20 June 2010, [[Mumbai]]) was a former [[India]]n [[cricket]]er who played in 2 [[Test cricket|Tests]] in 1955.

G.R. Sunderam was a right arm fast medium bowler and a right hand batsman. He underwent training in the cricket school run by [[Alf Gover]] in 1953.<ref>Sujit Mukherjee, ''Playing for India'', Orient Longman (1988), p. 61</ref> He represented India in the unofficial 'Test' against the Silver Jubilee Overseas Cricket team later that year before appearing in [[Ranji Trophy|Ranji]] matches.

His two Test matches were against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] in 1955-56. He took one of the two wickets when New Zealand made 450 for 2 in the [[Feroz Shah Kotla|Delhi]] Test and two more wickets in the next one. But the presence of medium pacers like [[Gulabrai Ramchand|G. S. Ramchand]] and [[Dattu Phadkar]], who were much better batsmen, limited his chances.


Sunderam represented [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]] and [[Rajasthan cricket team|Rajasthan]] in the Ranji Trophy. His son [[Pradeep Sunderam]] opened the bowling for Rajasthan in the 1980s and once took 10 wickets in an innings.<ref>[http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/46/46619.html Rajasthan v Vidharbha, 1985-86]</ref>

Sunderam was born to a [[Billava]] ([https://m.timesofindia.com/city/mangaluru/Meet-the-Adinivasis-of-Tulunadu/articleshow/16647879.cms Poojary]) family in [[Udipi]] in Southern Karnataka .<ref>Richard Cashman, ''Patrons, players, and the crowd'', Orient Longman (1980), p.189. Cashman actually puts his mother tongue as 'Kannada(Tulu)'</ref>

Sunderam died 20 June 2010 in [[Mumbai]] aged 80.<ref>[http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=79621&n_tit=+Former+Test+Cricketer%2C+Mangalorean++G+R+Sundaram+Passes+Away Former Test Cricketer, Mangalorean G R Sundaram Passes Away]</ref>
