The 22-year-old from Rajasthan has emerged as a reliable option in the spin department, where India has traditionally relied on veterans. With this performance, he strengthens his case for a regular spot in the playing XI, especially on turning tracks. The series provides an opportunity to test depth ahead of future overseas tours. Watch if Suthar retains his place for the second Test starting February 8.
