Manav Suthar IPL Profile

Manav Suthar was born on August 3, 2002 in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. His impressive performances for India A in the ACC Men's Emerging Asia Cup have not only captured the attention of cricket fanatics but have also set high expectations for his budding career. On Wednesday, July 19, in a highly anticipated match of ACC Men's Emerging Asia Cup 2023 against Pakistan A in Colombo, Suthar delivered a spell that could very well be the turning point of his early career. 

He accounted for three crucial dismissals for just 36 runs in his quota of 10 overs. His victims included the key players of Pakistan A namely their captain Mohammad Haris, and middle order batters - Haseebullah Khan and Kamran Ghulam.

The left-arm spinner from Rajasthan turned heads with pretty good performances for India A and also built a formidable reputation in domestic cricket. He showcased his mettle in the final league game of the 2021-22 Ranji Trophy season against Services, claiming 4/82 in the first innings. This performance cemented his spot in the team.

The 2022-23 Ranji season was a turning point for Suthar. Playing in six of the seven games, he took the tournament by storm, accounting for 39 dismissals at an impressive average of 20.32. His potential to consistently take wickets was complemented by two five-wicket hauls, showcasing his knack for playing pivotal roles in critical matches. One of the highlights of his season was the game against Kerala, where he got rid of high-profile batsman and Kerala skipper Sanju Samson in both innings of the match. 

Adding to his value as a player, Suthar also proved to be a capable batter, particularly shining in the lower order. Over the season, he scored 224 runs at an average of 32, including two half-centuries. His best all-round performance came against Puducherry when he chipped in with an unbeaten 96 with the bat followed by 11 wickets (8 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings). 

This performance came in a winning cause as Rajasthan won the game by an innings and 101 runs. In the 2022-23 domestic season, he accounted for 90 dismissals and gained widespread recognition. For the unversed, Manav Suthar was one of the net bowlers for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022 season. Notably, he was acquired by the GT franchise for his base price of INR 20 lakh at the IPL 2024 auction.
