Manav Suthar’s Galle Spell Shows Classic Indian Spin
· Sports · Indian Express, Times of India
Manav Suthar bowled 13 overs for 2‑38 as Sri Lanka fell to 146/5 at Galle. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan praised Suthar’s release point where the seam steers to first slip and the ball dips and drifts. He notes the spinner uses a rockback catapult similar to Bedi, Prasanna and Venkataraghavan, a feature uncommon in modern spin bowlers. The 24‑year‑old bowls conventional left‑arm spin with high revs and subtle seam variations, and is seen as a successor to India’s spin tradition. Suthar’s performance and technique have already placed him among the few domestic spinners who can carry India’s spin legacy forward.
Why it matters
Suthar’s rise gives India a long‑term left‑arm spin option and may shape future bowling line‑ups.
