Engineer's XI: An XI featuring cricketers who hold an engineering degree

#3 Sujith Somasunder (India)

Sujith Somasunder, a former Indian batsman, was a computer engineer before finding himself on the cricket fields for India. While acknowledging engineering's role in his cricket, Somasunder, in an interview to The Times of India, once said, "A bachelor's course in engineering is for four years, and in that time you learn the importance of balancing, which is key for a cricketer."

Although the Karnataka batsman failed to market himself in international cricket, he scored loads of runs in first-class cricket. Having played 99 FC games, he amassed 5525 runs at a decent average of 35.64 while hitting 11 centuries and 30 fifties.
