Summary
Manav Suthar marked his Test debut with 7 wickets as India sealed their biggest-ever win in the format, finishing the one-off match on day three in New Chandigarh.
564-8 declared gave India complete control after centuries from Shubman Gill (126) and KL Rahul (100), leaving Afghanistan chasing the game from the start.
152 in the first innings included Rahmat Shah's 60, but Suthar's 6-33 triggered the follow-on and put Afghanistan under immediate pressure again.
74-1 briefly steadied Afghanistan second time around before they collapsed to 112 all out, with Washington Sundar taking 4-36 and Kuldeep Yadav ending it with two wickets in two balls.
300 runs surpassed India's previous record Test victory margin of an innings and 272 runs against West Indies in Rajkot in 2018.
