Suthar’s stand-out performance casts concerns on some of the other spinners in India’s Test team, including Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja was rested for the match.
Former Team India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin faced the critical questions during the online interaction with ESPNCricinfo. Ashwin has strong beliefs that the Indian team management will continue with Manav Suthar after the stand-out performance he has shown against Afghanistan.
What will be the future of Ravindra Jadeja if Manav Suthar plays?
“I think it's evident that the management is looking for an out-and-out, match-winning spinner. Which will probably confine Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja) into a batting all-rounder who will give a bit of experience with the ball. This augurs well for the Indian team. I would think Manav Sutar will start in Sri Lanka purely by the performance that he has dealt out,” R Ashwin says.
Ashwin expresses concerns over Kuldeep Yadav
“It will be interesting to see how much Kuldeep will be backed going forward. I do think it's a very interesting time for Kuldeep. I loved how Shubman used Kuldeep in the second inning to try to give him a bit of confidence. I think that variety is needed. If you have so many spin bowling all-rounders, Kuldeep can continue to be backed. It will be interesting to watch,” he added.
“I do believe Jadeja will come back. Washington will hold on to his place. Manav Sutar will be that specialist spinner who will bowl those many overs to try and pick wickets. Kuldeep will add a bit of variety, and this combination will go through to the first test,” Ravichandran Ashwin opines.
