In the post-match presentation after the win, Manav Suthar was asked (Test cricket is easy, isn’t it?) To which the left-arm spinner said, “No sir, actually it is not. (His emotion on getting the India cap) It was a very unique feeling. Right from the beginning, it was my dream to play for India and play Test cricket. So it was an incredible moment for me and to be honest, it felt absolutely unreal.”

Did batting before bowling reduce nervousness? On this question, Manav Suthar said, “No… even when I went to bat, I was feeling quite comfortable. As I settled on the crease and played a few balls, I realized that the spinners were getting a little help on the wicket. Then, when I came to bowl and bowled my first over, I got the same feeling. After that, my entire focus was on maintaining the right line, length and pace.

What is the biggest lesson you learned from this match? The youngster said, “The biggest lesson is that consistency is everything. You have to keep bowling at the same places again and again. I think that is the most important thing in Test cricket. It is a format which requires a lot of patience. That’s what I have learned – be patient, stick to your plans and keep bowling in the right places consistently.”
