The Story in Brief
Times of India reports that left-arm spinner Manav Suthar has drawn comparisons to Ravindra Jadeja for his classical action and ability to bowl in all conditions. Former India spinner Maninder Singh calls him a 'delight to watch', praising the revolutions he imparts and his flawless seam position. Suthar made his Test debut against Afghanistan in June 2024 before immediately playing County cricket for Warwickshire, impressing head coach Ian Westwood with his work ethic and batting ability. Coaches at the BCCI Centre of Excellence have also noted his dedication.
The Indian Opinion
Headlines billing a 22-year-old as the 'next Jadeja' after two international games are premature but understandable for a rare classical left-armer. The hype around Suthar's 'revs on the ball' and wrist magic comes with a real test: the County stint at Warwickshire showed promise but only two matches. The numbers that will settle this, wickets in the next Ranji season and the 2025 IPL economy rate. Until then, the ordinary fan should enjoy the poetry but hold off on the eulogy.
