One-day cricket is one of the most challenging fronts for bowlers in international cricket. A bowler has o𓃲nly ten overs to prove his mettle in this form of the game.
Moreover, the bowler has the white ball, instead of the red, to make ⭕sure his skills are in place. Only aft🧔er some amount of expertise, a bowler can express his abilities in One-day Internationals.
However, there have been a few who immediately made an impact in their very first game. Today, let’s have a look at the top five bowlers with the best figures in ODI cricket on debut:
1.) Uvais Karnain
During his ODI debut against New Zealaꦍnd, back in 1984, the Sri Lankan picked a five-wicket haul. It turned out to be the fifth-best figure in the 50-over format. Karnain conceded only 26 runs in his eight overs.
2.) Tony Dodemaide
The Australian fast bowler on his debut ended up with his figures of 5/21 against Sri Lanka, back in 1988. In his seven overs and a couple of deliveries, he conce♌ded only 21 runs. Thereby, finishing with the fourth-best figure by a bowler o🦋n debut in ODI Cricket.
3.) Jan Frylinck
This one was a m🉐ore recent incident when a bowler picked up a fifer on his debut. The game between Namibia and Oman at Windhoek in April 2019, turned out to be special for Frylinck as he picked a five-wicket haul and conceded only 13 in his eight overs.
4.) Fidel Edwards
The feisty West Indies pacer impressed in his very first ODI game ag🔯ainst Zimbabwe in 2003 at Harare, by picking up a six-wicket haul on debut. His figures of 22/6 are the second-best by a bowler on debut.
5.) Kagiso Rabada
South African pace spearhead, on hi🥂s debut in ODIs, picked six ♑wickets against Bangladesh at Dhaka.
Rabada, who is amongst the best bowlers currently, ended up with 16/6 in hi🅷s eight overs which also included a hat-trick and is the best by any bowler on debut.
