Manav Suthar has become the youngest Indian cricketer to take a 10-wicket haul in an away Test match, according to The Times of India. The feat came during India’s Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, where Suthar’s bowling helped secure a decisive victory for the visitors.
The Times of India reports that Suthar’s performance set a new national record for his age group in overseas conditions. Cricket-specific outlets, including Cricinfo and Cricbuzz, also highlighted the achievement, with Cricinfo describing it as a “dream start” for the young bowler. The match saw India break down Sri Lanka’s resistance on the fifth day, with Suthar playing a central role in the final push.
India captain KL Rahul praised both Suthar and fellow batter Devdutt Padikkal after the win, according to the ICC. Padikkal’s return to form was noted separately by Cricinfo as a “perfect comeback,” complementing Suthar’s breakthrough with the ball. The team’s collective effort in Galle underlined a strong start to the series.
The victory in Galle gives India an early advantage in the series, with attention now turning to the remaining matches. Suthar’s record-breaking outing will likely keep him in focus as selectors and fans watch how the young spinner builds on this performance in future away tours.
