In a remarkable display, India defeated Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs in New Chandigarh, achieving their largest victory in Test history. The Indian team, led by Shubman Gill's impressive 126 runs and KL Rahul's century, declared their first innings at 564-8. Manav Suthar, making his debut, was instrumental in the victory, claiming seven wickets, including six in the first innings. Afghanistan, forced to follow on, struggled against India's spinners, with Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav sharing seven wickets to bowl the visitors out for just 112 runs. This win surpasses India's previous record of an innings and 272 runs against the West Indies in 2018. Afghanistan's captain, Hashmatullah Shahidi, acknowledged the challenges of playing in India, emphasizing the need for his team to learn from the experience. Suthar's performance places him among the few Indian bowlers to take six wickets on debut, a feat last achieved by Ravichandran Ashwin in 2011.
