Manav Sudhar has become one of the few bowlers in the country who have already taken a wicket in their debut test. After the match, Manav Suthar said – During the spell, my focus was on bowling in the right places and relying on my strength. The wicket was helping, so I tried to bowl in the right places and bowl the right length as consistently as possible. There was some help from the wicket, and my strength is to turn the ball.

Manav took full advantage of the help of the wicket and used his spin bowling power properly.
