In New Chandigarh on June 6, 2026, Manav Suthar made history by becoming the first cricketer from Rajasthan to earn a Test cap in 12 years. This achievement highlights a significant milestone for the state's cricket after a long absence from the Test arena. Suthar, a 23-year-old left-arm spinner from Sriganganagar, joins an elite group of five players from Rajasthan to represent the state in Test cricket. His standout domestic performance includes 39 wickets in six Ranji matches during the 2022-23 season. As he begins his Test career, comparisons are drawn to established all-rounders, although coaches urge patience in evaluating his potential.
