Virat Kohli has made some controversial calls throughout his stint as Test captain. But, one call that has created huge impact is giving a Test debut to Jasprit Bumrah in South Africa. From being labelled as a limited overs specialist to being Kohli's go-to bowler, his growth in his debut year is extraordinary.

Bumrah was again at his very best at Melbourne as he picked up six wickets in the first innings to bundle out Aussies for just 151. With this fifer, he became the first Asian bowler to take five-wicket hauls in South Africa, England, and Australia in a calendar year.

He has taken 48 wickets in his debut year in Tests. Only Curtly Ambrose (49) and Terry Alderman (54) are ahead of Bumrah in this list.
