Thirunavukkarasu Kumaran, also known as 'Kenny' and 'Thiru Kumaran', is an Indian First Class cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He is currently a member of Indian World Team in the Indian Cricket League Twenty20 competition. Kumaran was a product of the MRF Pace Foundation under the personal training from Dennis Lillee. He also had some training at the Australian Cricket Academy in Adelaide. Kumaran got selected into the national ODI team after an exception haul of 10 wickets in an Irani Trophy match against Karnataka at Bangalore in the 1999/2000 domestic season. He was picked for the Australian tour where he performed well in the first-class games prior to the first Test. However Ajit Agarkar was preferred over him to play in the series. He took this disappointment in his stride, but another one followed when he was one of the five players replaced for Carlton & United one-day series. He joined the rebel Indian Cricket League during its inception in 2007 and was one of the stand-out performers for the Chennai Superstars. He took an astonishing 6 for 21 on debut - a league record - and also has the best strike in the 20-over tournament.
