History Made: Manav Suthar Claims 10-Wicket Haul to Etch His Name in Indian Cricket Record Books in Sri Lanka
Young Indian spinner Manav Suthar has written his name into the history books, becoming the most successful Indian bowler ever to play on Sri Lankan soil after claiming a stunning 10 wickets for 131 runs in a single Test match — the best bowling figures ever recorded by an Indian cricketer in Sri Lanka.
A Performance for the Ages
The left-arm spinner's extraordinary match haul has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world, with the remarkable achievement standing as a testament to both his skill and composure on a tour that has proven defining for the young tweaker.

The record-breaking performance will be remembered as one of the standout individual bowling efforts in recent Test cricket history between the two Asian neighbours, who share a long and storied rivalry on the pitch.

India has produced a long line of celebrated spin bowlers over the decades, making Suthar's achievement all the more remarkable. To surpass every previous Indian spinning and seaming great on Sri Lankan pitches places the youngster in extraordinarily prestigious company.
- Suthar's figures of 10/131 are the best ever by an Indian bowler in Sri Lanka
