Manav Suthar’s spin masterclass helps India beat Sri Lanka in Galle

Manav Suthar claimed six second-innings wickets in a spin-bowling masterclass to fashion India’s 165-run victory in the opening test against Sri Lanka in Galle on Wednesday. Having set Sri Lanka a victory target of 372, India bowled out the hosts for 206 in the post-lunch session on the final day of the contest, minutes before rain started at the Galle International Stadium. Left-arm spinner Suthar (6-55) finished with a 10-wicket match haul as the tourists grabbed a 1-0 lead in the two-match series following their comprehensive victory in India’s 600th test.

Resuming on 84-4, Sri Lanka needed to bat out of their skin to save the match, possibly with some help from the weather.Skipper Dhananjaya de Silva (59) and Sonal Dinusha (84) struck fighting fifties and defied India with a 95-run stand for the fifth wicket until Ravindra Jadeja separated them. Once de Silva fluffed his sweep shot against Jadeja, India’s victory looked just a matter of time.Suthar missed a hat-trick but sent down a three-wicket over to take Sri Lanka hurtling towards defeat.
Suthar’s splendid bowling notwithstanding, teammate Devdutt Padikkal was adjudged player of the match for his majestic 167, which provided the bedrock of India’s first-innings 467. The second and final test begins in Colombo on Sunday.
