Several other teammates and peers also extended their best wishes to the young all-rounder for his new purchase.
International Debut and Rapid Rise
Reflecting on his cricketing journey, Suthar made his international debut earlier this year during a Test match against Afghanistan held in New Chandigarh, where he made an immediate impact by claiming 7 wickets. This stellar performance earned him a spot in the squad for the subsequent tour of Sri Lanka.
Match-Winning Performance in Sri Lanka
During the Sri Lanka tour, Suthar played two Test matches and delivered extraordinary bowling spells to pick up a total of 16 wickets. He secured a memorable 10-wicket haul in the Galle Test match, followed by 6 wickets in the Colombo fixture, playing a pivotal role in guiding India to a series victory.
Domestic Dominance and IPL Stint
To date, Manav Suthar has represented India in three Test matches, capturing 23 wickets. Although he is not part of the senior Indian Test squad currently touring New Zealand, he has been active in the unofficial Test matches played between India-A and New Zealand-A. His first-class record remains formidable, boasting 179 wickets from 41 matches. In the Indian Premier League, Suthar is associated with the Gujarat Titans, having played four matches in IPL 2026.
