Muthusamy scored his maiden hundred in the longest format in the second match against India, helping the team to a healthy 489 first innings total in Guwahati.

He says after being on the wrong side of a 3-0 whitewash against the same nation six years ago, opportunities to play were few and far between for a spinning all-rounder.

It’s tough being a spin all rounder in SA. Conditions are a lot different to the sub-continent, but when we get the opportunity to play in this part of the world, we really relish that challenge.

“My journey has been unique to say the least. Got a taste of international cricket in 2019, went back into the wilderness . There were times I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to play test cricket again,” he said.
