Senuran Muthusamy scored his maiden Test hundred in Guwahati, helping South Africa seize control of the match. The knock also marked a remarkable revival in his Test career, coming six years after he first debuted in 2019.

Senuran Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne have helped South Africa reach 316-6 at tea on Day 2 of the second cricket test against India

Indian Cricket Team and South Africa Cricket Team are squaring off in the second test, which is underway at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. On day 2 of the clash on Sunday, November 23, Proteas all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy hammered an impeccable century to overpower Indian bowlers.

On Sunday, Muthusamy held together a riveting rearguard act with his maiden Test hundred, as South Africa stormed into control of the second Test.

Muthusamy capitalised on his and later revealed his improved coordination at the crease was down to a stint with a South African sports scientist, Dr Sheryll Calder, who founded EyeGym, an organisation that works with ordinary people and athletes to sharpen motor responses.

Muthusamy occupied the crease with monk-like discipline. In the early stages of his innings, he looked for runs only when he could steer the ball behind square. He had two nervy moments - one, when he was on 37 and edged Bumrah short of second slip; the other on 48, when he missed a sweep and was given out lbw to Jadeja.

Muthusamy felt the Proteas had positioned themselves well in an attempt to secure their first Test series victory in India in 25 years, after winning the opening match in Kolkata last week, but he admitted they needed to hit their straps with the ball to prevent the match ending in a draw.
