About Keshav

Who doesn’t love a classical, wily, left-arm spinner?

Keshav Maharaj, with sharp control and the ability to build sustained pressure has been a consistent presence in the Proteas setup since his international debut in 2016. He was selected for South Africa's 2021 T20 World Cup squad without having played a single T20I, debuted as captain against Sri Lanka, and took a wicket with his very first delivery in the format!

His hunger, his craft, and his experience make him exactly the kind of cricketer this team thrives on, added with his values, discipline and his ability to operate under pressure. We are thrilled to have him in the Blue and Gold!

* Keshav Maharaj comes in as a replacement for Mitchell Santner, who was ruled out of IPL 2026 mid-way with a shoulder injury
