Manav Suthar on learning from Ravindra Jadeja: ‘His consistency is world-class’
Manav Suthar, the 24-year-old Indian left-arm spinner, bowled ahead of veteran Ravindra Jadeja during the Sri Lanka tour. Suthar's dream start came when he dismissed Dinesh Chandimal with his first ball, which spun and took the outside edge to collect in Rishabh Pant's gloves. The left-arm spinner went on to finish with 4/76 in 21.4 overs, helping India bowl Sri Lanka out for 284 and take a 178-run lead.
Despite bowling first, Suthar admires Jadeja's consistency, stating, "His consistency is world-class. So I want to learn from him that no matter what a batsman does, how long can you bowl on a spot and induce a false shot." The young spinner, who made his Test debut against Afghanistan in June, practiced bowling with a Kookaburra ball before the tour, focusing on good area, length, and speed.
Suthar also shared his experience of playing county cricket in England, where the wickets and batsmen's plans were different, providing a valuable learning opportunity.
