Indian left-arm spinner Manav Suthar made an immediate impact by dismissing Dinesh Chandimal with the first ball of his spell during the first Test against Sri Lanka. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant showed sharp reflexes behind the stumps, moving quickly to his right to complete a brilliant catch off the batter's glove.
India's first innings ended quickly on Day 3 (Monday) as the visitors were bowled out for 462, adding only two runs to their overnight total. Sri Lankan spinner Prabath Jayasuriya led the bowling attack with 4/109, while Keshara Nuwantha claimed 3/175 to prevent India from extending their lead further.

Indian captain Shubman Gill brought Manav Suthar into the attack in the eighth over of Sri Lanka's first innings. The left-arm spinner bowled a good-length delivery around off that drifted into Dinesh Chandimal before turning away sharply.
Chandimal moved forward to defend but played away from his body. The ball caught the outside of his right glove, giving Rishabh Pant a difficult chance behind the stumps. Pant reacted quickly to his right and completed the catch as Chandimal walked back for four off 16 balls.
Suthar took his maiden Test wicket away from home, leaving Sri Lanka in early trouble with their second wicket down. The spinner celebrated the breakthrough with his teammates as India made an immediate impact after Gill's bowling change.
