#8 Mark Craig

Mark Craig is the only cricketer to hit a six off the very first ball he faced in Test cricket

Mark Craig is the only cricketer in the history of Test cricket to score a six off the very first ball he faced. He achieved this feat against Sulieman Benn at Kingston in the year 2014.

In fact, it was the first ball in international cricket faced by Craig and he smashed a six. Craig went on to pick up 8 wickets in the said Test and was awarded the Man of the Match performance on debut.

The off-spinner from Auckland has a decent record in Test cricket and averages 36.81 with the bat in 25 Test innings and has picked up 50 wickets in Test cricket. However, an indifferent tour of India in 2016 saw the selections gates being shut for Craig and has not played a Test for the Kiwis in the next two years.
