Manav Suthar's debut for India in the one-off Test against Afghanistan at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, was nothing short of spectacular. On Day 2, Captain Shubman Gill introduced the 23-year-old left-arm spinner just before tea. Suthar made an immediate impact by taking his first wicket on the fourth ball of his career, dismissing Abdul Malik, who top-edged a sweep caught by Mohammed Siraj. This achievement made him the first Indian in 25 years to take a wicket in the first over of his debut Test match, joining an elite group of only seven other Indian cricketers. The last to do so was Tinu Yohannan in 2001. Suthar's selection ahead of Harsh Dubey and receiving his Test cap from Kuldeep Yadav further highlighted the significance of his debut. His historic performance not only thrilled his teammates but also set a promising tone for his career in international cricket.
