Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Surinder's talent first got noticed during the Indian schoolboys tour of England in 1967. Considered as a prodigy, he made his Ranji debut at the age of 15. He rose to prominence in 1975-76 after he hit a century on debut in an unofficial Test against Sri Lanka.
He started his international career similarly as well, smashing a hundred on debut against New Zealand in 1976. When England toured India in 1976-77, he played two Tests against them and was the best Indian batter on show in those games, making two fifties in 4 innings.
When India visited Australia in 1977-78, his tour was cut short after an injury forced him to return home. He returned to the team for their tour of Pakistan in 1978 and despite having a decent series with the bat, he was dropped from the side.
Many believed that Surinder was unfairly treated by the Indian selectors during his career. Surinder made an unbeaten 235 against Rest of India in 1980-81 and even though the public opinion was positive regarding his inclusion in the Indian squad going to Australia, the selectors overlooked him once again.
In 145 first-class games, Surinder made 8175 runs, averaging 40.47.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Given the brilliant start to his Test career, and the promise he held out, Surinder Amarnath's overall figures may be disappointing. But he was given a raw deal by the selectors. As the one classy left-hander in the side at the time, he could have been persevered with. Starting out as a schoolboy prodigy - his Ranji debut came when he was only 15 and made his mark first on the 1967 Indian schoolboys tour of England - Surinder continued to live up to this early potential by scoring a century on debut in an unofficial Test against Sri Lanka in 1975-76 and followed this up a few months later with a century on Test debut in New Zealand.
An aggressive batsman, Surinder could be bit flashy but when in full flow he was a treat to watch and could decimate even the best of attacks. He headed the averages in the two Tests he played against England in 1976-77, scoring two half centuries in four innings but he was unfortunate to sustain an injury early on the tour of Australia in 1977-78 and had to return home. However he did reasonably well on the tour of Pakistan in 1978-79 but was not considered again. This, despite getting 235 not out for Delhi against Rest of India in 1980-81
following which there was a clamour for his inclusion in the team that went to Australia that season. A prolific run getter in domestic cricket, Surinder scored 4206 runs (41.24) in the Ranji Trophy.
