‘Manav Suthar can become one of the best bowlers in the world’: Jayasuriya
Prabath Jayasuriya shares insights on his long-awaited Test debut and impressive performances with the Sri Lankan team. Following a disappointing first Test, he emphasizes the need for more defined bowling strategies. Identifying the likes of Joe Root, Kane Williamson, and Steve Smith as tough opponents, he remains optimistic about Sri Lanka's chances of reaching the World Test Championship final.
Prabath Jayasuriya, a rarity in modern-day cricket, made his Test debut at the age of 30 and immediately claimed 12 wickets against Australia in Galle. Since then, he has taken 132 wickets in 24 Tests for Sri Lanka. Ahead of the second Test against India, Jayasuriya spoke about his journey, Sri Lanka's chances of leveling the series, and lauded Manav Suthar's potential as a top bowler.
He believes India's young left-arm spinner Manav Suthar has the capability to become one of the world's best. Jayasuriya emphasized the need for stronger plans and execution in the bowling department to secure victories against India. He also highlighted the importance of staying focused and maintaining consistent processes, even as experienced players like Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal are lost.
