6 Indian players who took a wicket off their first balls in a particular format

#3 Ajit Agarkar

Agarkar during India's first ever T20I match

Ajit Agarkar was always considered to be a wicket-taking option in his playing career. The Mumbai bowler was often found guilty of giving away too many runs, but he also had the ability to pick up wickets at crucial junctures of the innings.

When T20 cricket came into existence, it was almost certain that Agarkar will be successful in the format. And thus, he was included in the playing XI in India's first ever T20 match in 2006. The match was played against South Africa at Johannesburg.

The hosts won the toss and elected to bat first. Agarkar was brought in the attack in the 6th over as the first change. Agarkar got into action straight away as he took the crucial wicket of Gibbs on the first ball of the over.

That over turned out to be a maiden. Agarkar struck a major blow in the next over dismissing the dangerous Ab de Villiers. However, Agarkar left the field midway through the next over because of a groin injury and took no further part in the match.

India eventually won the close encounter by 6 wickets with just 1 ball to spare.
