Netizens were all praise for Manav Suthar, who picked a six-wicket haul in the second innings of the Sri Lanka Test and ten wickets overall. The Indian team, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, recorded a crucial 165-run triumph over Sri Lanka in the first of the two-game Test series. The game that was a must-win for the visiting side, considering their qualification in the WTC 2027 Final, saw Manav Suthar put up a sensational display of bowling prowess.
Suthar, who finished the first innings with the figures of 4/76, followed it up with a brilliant 6/55 in the second to guide the side to a blowout win over their neighbours. Not only this, but earlier on the fifth day of the first Test, the youngster bowled a triple wicket-maiden to bridge the gap between the visitors and the victory. Suthar, who debuted for the Indian side in the one-off Afghanistan Test in June this year, recorded a five-wicket haul in his maiden India game as well.
