Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Playing for the Easterns in the Zimbabwe divisions, Maruma made a huge impact almost single handedly leading his team to the title. The right hander picked up an impressive 36 wickets at a really good average of 17.62. He was rewarded for his fine bowling with a call up to the national team for the World Cup T20 in South Africa in 2007. He did not get a chance to showcase his skills however as he was restricted to the bench.
He continued to raise eyebrows at the domestic level and was eventually handed his international debut in an ODI against South Africa. He struggled to make an impact failing with both bat and ball as Zimbabwe were routed by 5 wickets. He made his T20 debut against Sri Lanka later that year, but was given a chance to showcase his bowling skills.
He has had a brilliant First-class career and he went on to make his Test debut as an batting opener for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh in April 2013. That is the only Test he has played so far.
Maruma has shown a lot of promise and is considered as one of the finest slow bowlers in the Zimbabwean domestic scene. Though he's had a stuttering start to his international career, things look bright for this young all rounder.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Another product of Harare's Churchill High School and Takashinga Club, the lanky Maruma started off as a legspinner, before shifting his focus to batting. He became so good at it that he made his Test debut, against Bangladesh in 2013, he opened the batting.
The move up the batting ranks came after a highly successful domestic season in 2012-13, when he averaged 51.80 in 12 innings for Mountaineers, scoring one century and four fifties. That came on the back of two consistent seasons with the bat, in 2011-12 and 2010-11. Most of those runs were scored from No.5 or 6, yet his organised technique and temperament won him a promotion to the top of the order for his Test debut.
Even as his batting improved, Maruma's legspin took a back seat. In 2009-10, he was the leading wicket-taker by some distance in the Logan Cup, the domestic first-class tournament, taking 58 wickets at 18.94. During that period, he was clearly one of the better slow bowlers in Zimbabwe. In the last two seasons before his Test debut (2012-13 and 2011-12), though, he only took 16 wickets from as many matches, as he lost his stock delivery, the legbreak, and started bowling a mixture of googlies and seam-up quicker deliveries.
In the early part of his career, Maruma was seen as a bowling talent. After making his first-class debut against Bangladesh A in 2006, he registered impressive returns in his first Logan Cup, virtually spinning Easterns to the title in partnership with Prosper Utseya. He was rewarded for his outstanding debut domestic season, in which he took 36 wickets at 17.62, with a call up to the national side for the World Twenty20 in South Africa in 2007, but didn't make it into a starting XI. He made his ODI debut against South Africa in the same year, but he struggled to make an impact and fell out of contention, till he began to concentrate on his batting.
