Debutant left-arm spinner Manav Suthar has revealed that he wants to learn from the experienced Ravindra Jadeja after taking four wickets to help dismiss Sri Lanka for 284 in their first innings in the first Test at Galle International Stadium in Galle on Monday.
“There are a lot of things that I can learn from him (Jadeja). He uses the (bowling) crease so well. His consistency while bowling at stumps is world-class.
So, I would like to learn from him that no matter what the batsman is doing,” Suthar said at the end of Day 3.
“They bowled well yesterday. He also learned virtues like patience and sticking to a stump-to-stump line while bowling long spells. They varied their pace, and I feel that on this wicket, the more consistent you are, the more purchase you get. “It’s a very good feeling to get a wicket on the first ball. It gives you lots of confidence throughout the game.
So that’s what we were trying to do,” he said. India’s fine performance on Day 3 also gave a glimpse into the next generation of the team’s spin attack as Suthar delivered a career-defining performance.
I was also playing in the County cricket (for Warwickshire),” he said.
