Wicket On Maiden Test Delivery: South Africa ke debutant Corbin Bosch ne apne maiden Test delivery par hi wicket leke Pakistan ke khilaf jackpot jeet liya hai.
Debutant Corbin Bosch South Africa ke liye sirf paanchve bowler ban gaye hain jo apne Test career ki pehli ball par wicket lete hain. Bosch ne apne Test debut par Pakistan ke khilaf Centurion mein pehla match khela. Usko 15th over mein introduce kiya gaya tha taaki Pakistan ke opening partnership ko tod sake, jo Saim Ayub aur skipper Shan Masood ke beech chal rahi thi. Masood apne approach mein kaafi focused dikh rahe the, lekin Bosch ki pehli ball ne unki aur South Africa ki chaahat ko sach kar dikhaya. Usne ball ko uppish dalke Masood ko drinks break ke baad surprise kar diya.
Masood ka concentration thoda break ho gaya jab unhone ek aise delivery par drive karne ki koshish ki jo pehle unhone chhodi thi. Is loose shot mein, Pakistan ke skipper ne thick outside edge diya, jo Marco Jansen ke haath mein gully mein chali gayi.
Apne pehli Test ball par wicket leke, Bosch ne ek exclusive club join kiya, jisme Bert Vogler (England ke khilaf, Johannesburg, 1906), Dane Piedt (Zimbabwe ke khilaf, Harare, 2014), Hardus Viljoen (England ke khilaf, Johannesburg, 2016), aur Tshepo Moreki (New Zealand ke khilaf, Mount Maunganui, 2024) jaise bowlers shamil hain.
Khaas baat yeh hai ki 2024 mein ab tak 25 aise instances huye hain jab bowlers ne apni career ki pehli ball par wicket liya, aur yeh ek calendar year mein sabse zyada instances hain.
Bosch se pehle, West Indies ke young gun Shamar Joseph ne apne pehli ball par Steven Smith ko wicket diya tha Adelaide Oval mein January mein. South Africa ke Tshepo Moreki ne New Zealand ke Devon Conway ko February mein Mount Maunganui mein out kiya tha.
Bosch ne apne doosre wicket ke liye Pakistan ke vice-captain Saud Shakeel ko bhi dismiss kiya. Shakeel, jo crease par aate hi runs banane ki koshish kar rahe the, apni wicket kho baithe. Unhone apne stumps ke across shuffle karne ki koshish ki, lekin shot ke liye space kam pad gaya. Ball ne surface se bounce hone ke baad elevation li aur Shakeel ko cramp kar diya, ball unke glove se deflect ho kar wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne ke paas chali gayi.
