Manav Suthar also won the Player of the Match title by playing brilliantly for India-C. Meanwhile, the spinner has given a big statement by giving credit for his brilliant performance to Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. I was trusting my skills- Manav Suthar After taking seven wickets in the second innings against India D, Manav Suthar revealed that bowling at a slow pace helped him in taking wickets for his team. Speaking to the Indian Express, Manav Suthar said, To get wickets, I have to first stop them. That’s what I did. After the first innings, I thought I had to slow down a bit to get some turn, which would help with the bounce. Every pitch is different, so how you use your skills matters. In the first innings of the match against India-D, India-C’s fast bowlers, Anshul Kamboj, Vijay Kumar Vaishak and Himanshu Chauhan took 7 wickets. Whereas spinners Manav Suthar and Hrithik Shokin were able to take only 1-1 wickets. Suthar further said, Just because the fast bowlers were taking wickets, I can’t say there isn’t much help for the spinners. So I was trusting my skills, and I believed I could do it here. I have seen Ashwin and Jaddu bhai playing- Suthar Manav Suthar further revealed that he learned a lot from the bowling styles of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. The young spin-allrounder has focused on getting help from the seam rather than the pitch. Watching Ashwin and Jaddu bhai play, I have seen how they change their seam position, trajectory and speed to adapt to different pitches.
