IPL: Top 5 forgotten heroes

#4 Tirumalasetti Suman

Better known as T Suman or simply Suman, this right-handed batsman from Hyderabad had been catching eyes with his aggressive approach to the game ever since his Under-19 days. Of late, he has been an integral part of the Hyderabad T20 squad in the domestic circuit.

Idolizing Damien Martyn, Suman groomed himself as a middle-order batsman who could bowl some off-spin if the need arises. This move paid rich dividends in the 2009 IPL season where he bagged 5 scalps in addition to his consistency at No. 3 for the Deccan Chargers. 2010 saw him harvest 307 runs from 14 matches with 2 half-centuries and five unbeaten innings.

Opportunities, however, dried up in the following seasons as he got only 17 matches in the next three years. Pune Warriors India bought him in 2013 only to leave him high and dry a year later when the franchise dissolved under controversial circumstances.
