'''Sujith Bijjahalli Somasundar''' {{audio|Sujith Somasunder.ogg|pronunciation}} (born 2 December 1972) is a former Indian [[cricket]]er. He played domestic cricket for [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]] and played two [[One Day International]]s for [[Indian cricket team|India]] in 1996

==Early domestic career==
Somasundar got his chance on the basis of some fine performances in the domestic circuit with Karnataka. A gutsy batsman, Somasundar made his first appearance for [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]] in the [[1990–91 Ranji Trophy|1990–91 season]] of the [[Ranji Trophy]]. He played his first game against [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]] in February 1991 alongside another debutante and future India teammate [[Rahul Dravid]]. He made scores of 29 and 27 not out]] in the two innings. He played only one game in the [[1991–92 Ranji Trophy|following season]], against [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]], and returned figures of 3/15 in five overs. When no chances came his way to assure himself a permanent spot in the Karnataka side, Somasundar was backed by former India cricketer [[Gundappa Viswanath]], who was impressed by the former while they played for City Cricketers, a local club. Viswanath's pushing his case and the retirement of [[Carlton Saldanha]], an opening batsman for Karnataka, created a place in the side for Somasundar again.<ref name="Debut">{{cite news |last1=Jaishankar |first1=Vedam |authorlink1=Vedam Jaishankar |title=At 24, Somasundar is almost a late bloomer |url=http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19961014/28850672.html |accessdate=15 October 2018 |work=The Indian Express |date=14 October 1996 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19970424130441/http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/19961014/28850672.html |archivedate=24 April 1997}}</ref>

He flowered in 1994–95 when, pushed to open the batting, he responded immediately by scoring a century against Goa. Somasundar was a key member for Karnataka during the [[1995–96 Ranji Trophy]] season. He hit two centuries and five half centuries to play a leading role in Karnataka's triumph in the Ranji Trophy. In the final, he made 99 and 53. He aggregated 803 runs at 61.76 for the season.<ref name="Debut"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Batting - Most Runs |url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1995-96/IND_LOCAL/RANJI/STATS/IND_LOCAL_RJI_AVS_BAT_MOST_RUNS.html |website=ESPNcricinfo |accessdate=15 October 2018}}</ref>

==Later domestic career==
Rejected by the national selectors, Somasundar continued to be in good form and in the 1997-98 season, aggregated 629 runs. This was followed by a fine performance the next year when he helped Karnataka to another Ranji Trophy triumph by scoring 529 runs. In the 1998 final against [[Uttar Pradesh cricket team|Uttar Pradesh]], Somasundar scored a fine 68. During the 1990s, He was part of a [[Karnataka cricket team|Karnataka]] setup that contributed many players to the Indian team like [[Anil Kumble]], [[Javagal Srinath]], [[Rahul Dravid]], [[Venkatesh Prasad]], [[David Johnson (cricketer, born 1971)|David Johnson]], [[Dodda Ganesh]] and [[Sunil Joshi]].

In 2002, playing for [[Kerala cricket team|Kerala]], he scored his highest first class score of 222 against [[Tripura]]. He scored over 1000 runs that season which was the highest aggregate by any batsmen that year. He turned out for [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]] in the final years of his career and retired in 2007.
