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

#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar is elated after picking up his first ODI wicket

There was a time when Indian fast bowlers were considered to be the weak link of the team, but not anymore. And one of those fast bowlers who should be credited for this resurgence is Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Even though Bhuvneshwar was considered to be an out and out swing bowler during the early stages of his career, he has brought a lot of variations in his repertoire and has also enhanced his reputation as a death bowler.

The right-arm seamer made his ODI debut against arch-rivals Pakistan way back in 2012. Batting first, India scored a below par 227 runs in the 50 overs. India needed some quick wickets early in the innings and Bhuvneshwar did exactly that.

On the very first ball of the innings, Bhuvneshwar uprooted Mohd Hafeez's stump and got his first ODI scalp. Even though India went on to lose the match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar impressed one and all with his swing and consistency.
