Team India’s bowling attack was dominated by spinners, with Kuldeep Yadav, debutant Manav Suthur, and Washington Sundar, who collectively dismantled Afghanistan’s batting line-up across both innings of the One-Off Test in Mullanpur.
In the first innings, Suthar and Sundar combined for seven wickets to bundle out the visitors for 152, while in the second innings, the spin trio of Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Manav Suthar combined to scalp all eight wickets as the Afghan lineup collapsed for just 112.
Out of 20 wickets of Afghanistan, 15 were picked by Indian spinners, cementing their dominance on conditions tailored to their strengths and reaffirming their pedigree in the longest format of the game.
