Manav Suthar Impresses with Four Wickets in Test Debut Against Sri Lanka

Manav Suthar made a notable impact in his Test debut for India, taking four wickets during the first Test match against Sri Lanka at Galle International Stadium on August 17, 2026.

Suthar, who previously debuted against Afghanistan earlier this year, was instrumental in India's bowling attack, alongside Ravindra Jadeja, who took three wickets. Suthar emphasized the team's strategy to secure wickets early in the match, despite Sri Lanka's strong batting performance in the middle sessions.

In his debut, Suthar achieved the remarkable feat of dismissing Dinesh Chandimal with his first delivery. He expressed confidence in his performance, noting the pitch conditions and his preparation with the Kookaburra ball, which is used in Sri Lanka.
