Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj played for Delta Cricket Club in Sunday, 1 December’s 2019-20 KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union premier league fixture against Chatsworth Sporting Cricket Club.
Maharaj, who starred in the Durban Heat’s Mzansi Super League win over the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants 24 hours earlier, welcomed an early wicket against Chatsworth Sporting Club.
The experienced left-arm spinner was introduced into the attack after new-ball bowler Ryan Moses had clinched five early wickets. Maharaj completed figures of two for 20 in six overs, as Chatsworth Sporting Club were limited to 67 all out.
