Manav Suthar's Inclusion Raises Questions on Kuldeep Yadav's Role in India Test Team
India's Test squad for the Sri Lanka series includes left-arm orthodox spinner Manav Suthar, whose consistent domestic performances and impressive six-wicket debut against Afghanistan have positioned him as a strong contender. His traditional spin style contrasts with Kuldeep Yadav's wrist-spin, raising questions about the preferred partner for lead spinner Ravindra Jadeja. While Kuldeep offers variation by turning the ball both ways, Suthar's classical technique and control make the selection between them a key consideration for the team.
