Every bowler hopes to take a wicket in their debut match, but only a few are able to do this on their very first ball on ODI debut. These are those five bowlers.
2. Maheesh Theekshana (Sri Lanka)
Maheesh Theekshana made his Sri Lanka debut against South Africa in Colombo in 2021. Sri Lanka had batted first and posted 203/9 in 50 overs with Charith Asalanka top-scoring with 47 runs. In response, debutant Theekshana starred with the ball as Proteas crumbled to 125 all out.
Theekshana bowled his first ball in ODI cricket in the 10th over and got rid of Janneman Malan for 18 runs. He then went up picking the wickets of Heinrich Klaasen, Kagiso Rabada, and Keshav Maharaj, to end with figures of 4/37 in 10 overs in his debut ODI.
