Mother: Vani Muthusamy
Senuran Muthusamy is a versatile left-arm spinning allrounder from Durban who has steadily built a reputation as a reliable performer in South African cricket. The 32-year-old from KwaZulu-Natal developed into one of the most consistent players for the Dolphins, batting in the lower middle-order and bowling left-arm spin with impressive control. While not a huge turner of the ball, Muthusamy’s consistency and craftiness have brought him success across formats. A product of the “Born Free” generation—those born in 1994 when democracy came to South Africa—he had access to equal opportunities from childhood, attending Clifton School in Durban where he thrived with high-quality coaching. Despite completing a degree in media and marketing, cricket took over his career. His breakthrough season came in 2017-18 when he finished second on the franchise wicket-takers’ list with 33 wickets and was named Player of the Year. He made his Test debut against India in Visakhapatnam in October 2019, with Virat Kohli becoming his first Test wicket, and has since become a valuable all-round option for South Africa.
