Manav Suthar credit the Indian spin pair after their 7-fer in the Duleep Trophy 2024, “I’ve noticed how they vary their seam position.”

Manav Suthar, the most recent prodigy from Rajasthan, has navigated with his feet on two separate boats. Father Jagdish wanted the 22-year-old to start freaking out bowlers everywhere. But when Jagdish enrolled his son in a tutoring course in the Sriganganagar district, little did he know that he would become a spin wizard.

Suthar, who is representing India C in the Duleep Trophy 2024, took seven wickets in the second innings. In 19.1 overs, he bowled seven maidens and conceded 49 runs. The web he woven around the India D batsmen gave the team captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad an attackable target of 233.

During the first innings, Manav Suthar bowling had minimal effect.

He wasted 34 runs with just one wicket in the bank after sending 42 balls in the direction of the hitters. The left-arm Orthodox bowler said that his case was aided by a stint that was a little bit low on pace.

“I would have to restrict them before I could obtain wickets. That’s what I carried out. I knew after the first inning that I would need to pick up the pace a little to get some turn, which would be helpful given the bounce that was available. Since every pitch is unique, how you apply your skill set is what counts, according to Suthar, who was cited by Indian Express.

India C pacers, which included Anshul Kamboj, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Himanshu Chauhan, took seven wickets in the opening innings. Each of the team’s two spinners claimed one wicket.

I can’t say that spinners aren’t getting much aid just because seamers were gaining wickets. Thus, I was confident in my abilities and thought I could succeed here,” the all-around bowler said.

The left-arm spinner went on to say that he focused more on getting assistance with the seam than the pitch itself, taking a page from R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja’s spin memoirs. Even the opposition lower tier, which included Axar Patel and Srikar Bharat, was demolished by him.

Suthar said, “I’ve observed how Ashwin and Jaddu bhai adjust their seam position, trajectory, and speed to different pitches in the time I’ve spent watching them.”
