Once forgotten South Africa's man, Muthusamy keeps growing in stature

|November 24, 2025
IT'S funny how these things work out in the end, eh?
In 2019, after Senuran Muthusamy made his Test debut in India, he was in danger of slipping through the cracks. An underwhelming return of two wickets at 90 apiece and 98 runs across two Tests — to be fair, it was a forgettable series for a lot of his colleagues as well — meant the spinning all-rounder wasn't picked again.
From the end of 2019 to September 2025, he had featured in three more games. This is of course not a surprise. Life as a South African spinner is hard work, especially when you know Keshav Maharaj is the undisputed No. 1 and there's generally no place for a No. 2.
