Fans on X are absolutely losing it over India's lethal bowling spell on Day 2 of the India vs Afghanistan Test match. After Captain Shubman Gill declared India's innings at a mammoth 564/8, the Indian bowlers stepped onto the Mullanpur field and completely dismantled the Afghan top order, leaving them reeling at 98/4. The absolute biggest talking point on social media is debutant spinner Manav Suthar. Suthar was thrown the ball early, and X went wild when he picked up a wicket with his very first over in Test cricket, removing Abdul Malik. When he struck a second time to dismiss the dangerous Rahmanullah Gurbaz for just 12, cricket enthusiasts started sharing video clips of his beautiful drift and sharp turn. Fans are already calling him the next big thing in Indian spin, pointing out how incredibly accurate and calm he looks for someone playing their first international match.

Pace bowler Prasidh Krishna is the co-star of today's X trends. Right after the tea break, Prasidh sent Sediqullah Atal packing for 17. Shortly after, he trapped Afghanistan's captain, Hashmatullah Shahidi, leg-before-wicket (LBW). Fans are clipping videos of his extra bounce. Users are praising how well he and Mohammed Siraj are exploiting the pitch conditions to keep the batsmen guessing. Fans are praising Shubman Gill's captaincy. X users note that declaring at 564 gave India the perfect window of time to catch the Afghan openers tired and cold before tea. With Afghanistan trailing by more than 460 runs, fans are jokingly asking if the match will even make it to Day 4.

Afghanistan Team loses four wickets on Day 2 of test match against India

India’s bowling masterclass on Day 2 completely broke Afghanistan’s backbone, turning the one-off Test into a one-sided tactical showcase. After Shubman Gill declared India's innings at a crushing 564/8, India used the late afternoon conditions perfectly to throttle Afghanistan down to 113/4 by stumps. After Captain Shubman Gill declared India's massive first innings at 564/8, the Indian bowlers used the late afternoon conditions perfectly to throttle Afghanistan down to 113/4 by stumps. Young debutant spinner Manav Suthar sparked the initial collapse by taking a wicket in his very first over, teasing opener Abdul Malik into a failed sweep shot that was easily caught. He then outsmarted the dangerous Rahmanullah Gurbaz by slowing down his pace and giving the ball plenty of flight, forcing a mistimed shot that was cleanly taken by Sai Sudharsan.

Pace bowler Prasidh Krishna then doubled the damage by ripping through the rest of the Afghan top order right after the tea break. He first bowled an absolute beauty of a length delivery that beat the bat of Sediqullah Atal to crash straight into the stumps. Krishna then set a brilliant mental trap for Afghanistan's captain, Hashmatullah Shahidi, by using aggressive short balls before suddenly firing in a lethal, skidding delivery. Shahidi was caught completely off guard on his back foot, trapping him dead in front of the wickets for a textbook, plumb LBW.
