Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Like several greats, he made a hundred - a double in fact - on his Ranji debut, where he made an unbeaten 260, manifesting his insatiable appetite for runs and the ability to stay focused for a very long time. The innings, although just a one-off, also showed that he came with a fantastic temperament in the box, playing this majestic knock in a crucial Ranji pre-quarter-final game. He was causing a buzz around the circuit, and even made it to the U-19 levels in the early 90s, and the India A side alongside future Test cap holders including Rahul Dravid.
A classic case of \"so near, yet so far\", by no fault of his own, Muzumdar never quite earned himself a Test cap. He continued to score runs by the barrel, and led Mumbai to a Ranji Trophy win for the first time despite an ordinary start, beating Bengal in the final. Muzumdar, after a long association with Mumbai cricket, was unceremoniously dropped and moved to Assam to play Ranji cricket for them. He also went on to play for Andhra, and after a long and accomplished domestic career, announced his retirement in 2014, ending his career as the highest scorer in Ranji cricket before the record was overhauled by Wasim Jaffer.
He became the captain of Mumbai on a full-time basis in 2006/07 and in his very first season as captain, Mumbai won the Ranji Trophy,. After being left out of the Mumbai squad for the Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in 2009, Muzumdar announced that he would represent Assam in the next Ranji season. In October 2012, he signed to play for Andhra Pradesh and stayed there before announcing his retirement in 2014. Muzumdar was coached by Dronacharya award winner, Ramakant Achrekar, famously known as Sachin Tendulkar's first coach. Muzumdar has worked as a TV commentator for domestic games in recent years whilst also assisting the Netherlands national team as a batting coach.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A diminutively built right-hand batsman who relies on timing rather than power, Amol Muzumdar was padded up and next man in for Shardashram English school when Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli had their world-record 664-run partnership. He did, however, get other chances to bat, and made use of them. better than his first-class debut for Mumbai where he made an unbeaten 260 in a Ranji pre-quarter-final against Haryana. He was promptly hailed the next big thing from the Bombay school of batsmanship. In 1994 he was vice-captain of India under-19s, and played alongside Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid for India A. However, despite making runs steadily in domestic cricket, Muzumdar never made it to the national side. In 2006-07 he was handed the Mumbai captaincy on a full-time basis for the first time, and led his team to victory in the domestic championship despite an unprecedented poor start to the season. In August 2009, after being left out of the Buchi Babu tournament, Muzumdar announced he would play for Assam in the next Ranji Trophy season. He spent five years as a professional cricketer in Assam and Andhra before retiring from first-class cricket in 2014.
