Manav Suthar made an impressive Test debut for India, taking six wickets for just 33 runs against Afghanistan at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. His remarkable bowling figures of 6/33 not only helped dismiss Afghanistan for 152 in their first innings but also marked the best debut bowling performance by an Indian in 38 years, surpassing the previous record held by Narendra Hirwani. Suthar's achievement places him among a select group of Indian bowlers who have taken six wickets on their Test debut, joining the ranks of notable players like Ravichandran Ashwin and Dilip Doshi. Throughout his spell, Suthar displayed exceptional control, bowling 10 maidens and maintaining an economy rate of 1.50. His ability to generate drift and turn consistently troubled the Afghan batsmen, leading to a dominant position for India in the one-off Test. As Ravindra Jadeja approaches the twilight of his career, Suthar's emergence as a promising left-arm spin option bodes well for India's future in red-ball cricket.
