India have registered their biggest Test win in history, defeating Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs in a one-sided contest. The match, which concluded on June 8, 2026, saw debutant left-arm spinner Manav Suthar shine with a five-wicket haul, his maiden in Test cricket.
Dominant Performance by India
India's bowlers were relentless as they bundled out Afghanistan for a low total in both innings. After posting a massive first-innings score, India enforced the follow-on and quickly wrapped up the match. The victory margin of an innings and 300 runs is the largest in India's Test history, surpassing previous records.
Manav Suthar's Memorable Debut
Manav Suthar, playing his first Test match, was the pick of the bowlers. He finished with figures of 5 for 52 in the second innings, dismantling Afghanistan's batting lineup. His performance earned him the Player of the Match award.
Afghanistan's Struggle
Afghanistan, despite showing some resistance in patches, could not cope with India's bowling attack. Their batsmen found it difficult to handle the spin and pace combination, leading to two quick collapses. The team will look to regroup before their next assignment.
This victory adds to India's impressive home record and strengthens their position in the ICC Test Championship standings. The team will now prepare for their upcoming series against Australia.
