When: India vs Pakistan, Bengaluru 2012

Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan resumed after a hiatus of five years when the Men in Blue hosted their arch-rivals in the winter of 2012. Pakistan, renowned for their factory of left-arm fast bowling talent, unearthed their newest product in the form of 7 foot 1 inch tall Mohammad Irfan.

After years of toiling in the domestic setup, Irfan finally got his due when he made his debut against India in 2012.

With impressive figures of 1-25 in four overs, Irfan made a remarkable impact on his debut, the icing on the cake being the wicket of Virat Kohli who attempted a wild slash outside the off stump, offering a modest catch to Kamran Akmal.

A spirited performance from Irfan and the other bowlers helped Pakistan restrict India to 9-133, which they chased down with ease, capping off a memorable debut for Irfan.
