Years of toil in domestic cricket, countless overs on dusty grounds and a relentless rise through the ranks culminated in a career-defining moment for Manav Suthar on Saturday as the Rajasthan all-rounder received his maiden India Test cap ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan.
In a memorable pre-match ceremony at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, senior spinner Kuldeep Yadav handed Suthar the coveted cap, officially welcoming him into Indian cricket's most exclusive club.
