Manav Suthar has been outstanding in India C’s opening game in the Duleep Trophy 2024 as he starred with a seven-wicket haul against India D on Saturday. The spinner set a new record within the tournament which will certainly put him in the spotlight as one to consider for the future.
Suthar’s seven-wicket haul has resulted in him registering the best bowling figures on debut at the Duleep Trophy. He surpassed the Tamil Nadu spinner, R Sai Kishore to create the new record.
Despite a lacklustre start in the first innings, Suthar was able to pick up seven wickets in the second innings to help India C in control as they went on to win the match by four wickets and a day’s play to spare.
The 22-year-old single-handedly cleaned up India D’s middle-order batting unit followed by the tail-enders to showcase his dominance in Indian conditions. By getting the wickets of set batters like Devdutt Padikkal and Ricky Bhui, India C was able to regain the momentum which turned out to be what they needed to take the win.

In the final innings, the southpaw also chipped in with 19 runs in 43 deliveries which included two boundaries and a maximum as he scored the winning runs for India C in the 61st over to give them the six points.
Suthar will look to continue his spin-bowling exploits as he continues to prove that he is one of Team India’s long-term plans by continuing to thrive in the domestic circuit and prove that he is among the top spinners within the country.
India C will play their second game of the tournament against India B in Anantapur once again where Suthar will be one of the players to watch out for as the conditions become more friendly for the spinners.
