India emerging

World Test Championship: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak hailed debutant Manav Suthar's outstanding performance against Afghanistan, saying the left-arm spinner's rise was a reflection of the strong domestic and developmental structure in Indian cricket.

Suthar made a remarkable international debut, taking 7 for 62 and winning the Player of the Match award as India defeated Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs in the one-off Test at New Chandigarh.

The 22-year-old spinner played a key role in India's strong performance. He helped dismiss Afghanistan for just 152 in the first innings and contributed to another collapse in the follow-on. He also added helpful runs lower down the order, impressing the team management with his overall contribution.
