Thirunavukkarasu Kumaran pronunciation  (born December 30, 1975 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu), also known as ‘Kenny’, is an Indian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler.

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 team after an exception haul of 10 wickets in a 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. But 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 quit the game within a year never recovering from the setback.
