South Africa: South Africa’s Senuran Muthusamy seized the spotlight on Day 2 of the second Test between the Proteas and India here at the Barsapara Stadium with a brilliant maiden century that helped the visitors elevate their overnight score from 247/6 to 489 at the close of their first innings. He described it as a special moment to reach the three-figure mark at a packed ground and expressed satisfaction at contributing to the team’s total.
Muthusamy, who recently won the ICC Player of the Month award, received brilliant support from wicketkeeper-batter Kyle Verreynne (45 off 122) and Marco Jansen from the other end as the latter notched up 93 runs off 91 deliveries before falling short of a well-deserved century.
Speaking to the broadcasters after the game, the batting all-rounder, who notched up 109 runs off 206 deliveries while batting at No. 7, said, “It was a really special moment in front of this full house. I'm just glad that I could contribute to the team and really put some runs on the board in the first innings, which is always important.”
