LEFT arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy was named the Hollywoodbets Dolphins Player of the Year at the franchise’s annual end-of-season prize giving awards at Mount Edgecombe on Wednesday evening, crowning a domestic season in which the Durban born-and-raised left hander has made telling contributions with the ball and the bat.
One of the leading wicket takers in the Sunfoil Series, Muthusamy has been pivotal to the Hollywoodbets Dolphins competitive edge in the 2017/18 season, showing his ability to throttle back opponents run rates and take wickets at vital stages in a match, while also contributing in the middle order, where the Dolphins resilience has helped turn a number of vital matches round.
In addition to winning the Player of the Year Award Muthusamy also won the prestigious Players’ Player of the Year Award, Sunfoil Series Bowler of the Year and Player of the Tournament and the Hollywoodbets Blue Collar of the Year Award for the player who does the most for team, on and off the field.

“I felt that I didn’t start the season well with the bat but I am grateful that I was able to pull it together and finish the season strong,” Muthusamy said. “Moving down the batting order slightly allowed me to play as more of an all-rounder and takes a bit of pressure off me after I was opening the batting and bowling. I’m grateful that I have been able to find a role in the team that helps us win cricket games.”
Spinners dominated the Dolphins awards, with Prenelan Subrayen taking the award for the Momentum One Day Cup Player of the Tournament, and Keshav Maharaj winning the equivalent award for the Ram Slam tournament.
Vaughn van Jaarsveld won the Fans Player Award.
