10 Rookie bowlers who thumped India

9. Patrick Patterson (West Indies) – 6/29:

This performance takes us a couple of decades back in 1987 when West Indies toured India. It was the first ODI of the tour and the venue was the Vidarbha Stadium at Nagpur. West Indies fast bowler Patrick ‘Patto’ Patterson’ destroyed the Indian batting lineup in his very first appearance on the Indian soil. The visitors batted first and could only manage 203 runs on the scoreboard. The Indians, in reply, were routed by Patterson who toppled the top order first and then wiped the lower middle order to return with the figures of 6/29 to crumble India for 193 runs and West Indies managed to a 10-run victory.
