KL Rahul praises Manav Suthar's pace and consistency after Galle win

India vice-captain KL Rahul credited Manav Suthar's pace, consistency and impact for the 165-run victory over Sri Lanka in Galle. Rahul said the team handled the spin-friendly conditions well and executed its plans throughout the match.

Suthar took ten wickets for 131 runs and became the youngest Indian to achieve the feat in a Test match. His figures matched a 93-year-old record for the best match haul by an Indian spinner in Sri Lanka.

Rahul added that every Test win matters and the team came away with confidence for tougher assignments ahead. India lead the series 1-0 with the second Test scheduled in Colombo.
