‘Super Suthar’ dominated in England, lethal bowling in the county after explosive debut in Test, experts remembered the old era of spin

New Delhi. India’s new spin bowler Manav Suthar, who made a brilliant debut in Test cricket, has taken five wickets for the first time for Warwickshire against Somerset in the English County Championship match. Suthar, who had received a contract to play two red ball matches for the ‘Bears’, took a total of seven wickets in Somerset’s second innings by taking 5 wickets in 46.5 overs. In the first innings, Suthar took 2 wickets in 18 overs.

Manav Suthar also took two wickets in both the innings against Yorkshire in his county debut. Suthar, who took 10 wickets on his Test debut against Afghanistan earlier this month and is being tipped to be India’s next premier spinner, will return in his short English summer with 11 wickets in two matches.

Suthar’s Super Spell

In the ongoing match at Taunton, Somerset batted first and were all out for 208 runs, in which Australia’s Test all-rounder Bo Webster took 4 wickets. Both Suthar’s victims in the first innings were tail-enders. Warwickshire scored 330 runs in their first innings, in which Suthar scored 28 runs, which included three fours and two sixes. Somerset scored 435 runs in the second innings when the pitch became a little easier. Suthar had initially reduced Somerset to 148 for 6 by taking three wickets. He first got Jordan Harman (34) caught in the deep, then stumped Tom Kohler-Cadmore (12) and then got Josh Shaw (22) caught in the slip. Later, Suthar once again collected the tail and completed five wickets for the first time.

Manav is an old time spinner

In England, the way Manav Suthar deceived the batsmen by flying the ball and impressed everyone with his simple action, the discussion has intensified that the old era spin bowling is coming back again. In the T-20 era, while spinners believe in bowling the ball fast, there are also bowlers like Manav Suthar who are relying on overspin instead of underspin.
