IND vs AFG Live Score, One-Off Test Match Day 3: Manav Suthar's 6/33 helps India bundle out Afghanistan for 152, secure 412-run lead

IND vs AFG, One-Off Test Match Day 3: Manav Suthar announced himself on the Test stage in style as India thrashed Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs in the one-off Test, recording the biggest innings victory in their history. The debutant left-arm spinner was the standout performer with match figures of 7 for 62 and a memorable first-innings haul of 6 for 33 that laid the foundation for India's dominance.

After being bowled out for 152 in reply to India's 564 for 8 declared, Afghanistan were forced to follow on but collapsed again for just 112 midway through the third day. Washington Sundar exploited the visitors' reckless approach brilliantly to return 4 for 36, while Kuldeep Yadav also enjoyed some success with figures of 3 for 30.

Suthar's debut could prove to be the most significant development for Indian cricket. With Ravichandran Ashwin already retired and Ravindra Jadeja nearing the latter stages of his Test career, the 23-year-old showcased the qualities needed to carry India's spin legacy forward. His accuracy, ability to impart heavy revolutions and knack of extracting turn and bounce from a docile track impressed throughout the match.

He became the 10th Indian bowler and seventh spinner to take a five-wicket haul on debut, underlining the magnitude of his achievement. The sparse crowd present on Monday morning witnessed the arrival of a promising new spin star.

Afghanistan's resistance was limited to veteran Rahmat Shah, who became the first batter from his country to reach 1,000 Test runs during his first-innings 60. However, a combination of inexperience and questionable shot selection ensured the visitors were no match for India's disciplined spin attack as the hosts completed another emphatic victory over the Afghans.

Manav Suthar to Rahmat Shah, Half a shout for LBW! Fired in full, on off and middle. Rahmat Shah advances down the track and plays it back to the bowler. Suthar goes up in an appeal, as does Shubman Gill, with both feeling it was pad first. Gill thought about it but opted against the review. The replays show that it was pad first, but the impact was umpire's call (over 3 metres). So, the decision would have been upheld even if India had reviewed it.

IND vs AFG Live Score, One-Off Test Match Day 3: India tightened their grip on the one-off Test against Afghanistan with debutant Manav Suthar producing a classical display of left-arm spin to leave the visitors reeling at 113 for 5 at stumps on Day Two. After declaring their first innings at a commanding 564 for 8, India struck regularly, with Suthar returning impressive figures of 3 for 21 and Prasidh Krishna chipping in with two wickets as Afghanistan slipped to a 451-run deficit.

The 23-year-old from Rajasthan made an instant impact in his maiden Test appearance, showcasing old-school virtues of flight, drift and turn. Suthar dismissed Abdul Malik, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Afsar Zazai during a spell that underlined why Indian cricket can look forward to life after Ravindra Jadeja. His ability to repeatedly hit the same area while extracting different kinds of movement stood out on a surface offering assistance.

Earlier, India resumed in a strong position and batted deep. Washington Sundar remained unbeaten on 52 and added 54 runs with Suthar (28) before captain Shubman Gill declared. Rishabh Pant played a measured innings of 81 but fell while trying to accelerate, missing out on a hundred. Mohammad Saleem was Afghanistan's standout performer with a six-wicket haul, removing Gill for 126 and finishing with figures of 6 for 140. However, with Afghanistan already five down, India are firmly placed to push for an innings victory on Day Three.
