While the selector’s decision to include Suthar in the Test team hits the bullseye, the exclusion of the other spinner, Axar Patel, raises some questions. Aakash Chopra, the former India opener, explains whether the emergence of Manav Suthar can cause any threat to Axar Patel’s Test career.
“Whenever you see, it seems like justice hasn't been done with Axar Patel. However, selection is not just about how good someone's numbers are. Let's be very honest, Jadeja and Axar have played together very few times, and Axar hasn't had chances at all outside India. Ravindra Jadeja goes as your primary spinner there," Chopra responded.

According to the former cricketer-turned-cricket expert’s observation, Jadeja is more like a batting all-rounder than a typical spinner, and Patel needs assistance from the pitch to be effective.

After watching Suthar create havoc against Afghanistan, Aakash Chopra sees him as an attacking spinner who always raises his hand whenever the team needs a wicket. The cricket experts also claim that Suthar could take wickets under any circumstances, no matter the nature of the wicket.
“Whether you talk about drift, dip, or extra spin, he has got that all. You very rarely get a finger spinner who is so effective. For one more time, I am going with the selectors. Their thought process is not wrong. It seems like it's a slight injustice with Axar, but I think Manav Suthar is an exceptional kid,” he concluded.
