The verified final story is clear: India controlled the one-off Test from the first-innings base and never let Afghanistan breathe after enforcing the follow-on. New Chandigarh became the stage for one of India's most one-sided Test wins.

Why India controlled the match

India's 564/8 declared did more than create a big number. It forced Afghanistan into survival mode, gave India's bowlers time to attack in waves, and made every Afghan batting session feel like a chase against the clock.

Once Afghanistan were bowled out for 152 in the first innings, the follow-on pressure turned the match sharply toward India. Afghanistan's second innings never found the long partnership needed to delay the finish.

Manav Suthar became the headline

Debutant left-arm spinner Manav Suthar became the main talking point. His first-innings six-wicket burst broke Afghanistan's batting shape and gave India full control of the match rhythm.

For a debut spell, that was more than a wicket column. It showed control, patience, and the ability to turn scoreboard pressure into actual dismissals.

Where Afghanistan fell behind

Afghanistan's issue was not one single collapse. They were always batting from behind after India's declaration. The first innings did not produce enough resistance, and the follow-on innings brought the same pressure back immediately.

In Test cricket, one or two short stands can slow momentum, but Afghanistan needed a full session of discipline. India kept finding wickets before that resistance could settle.
