Wildest debuts in cricket?

Cricket has seen some wild debuts over the years.

One of the most memorable ones has to be Shikhar Dhawan's debut for India in 2013. He scored a blistering 187 runs in his very first Test match against Australia. That was quite a way to introduce himself to international cricket!

Another remarkable debut was by Bob Massie, an Australian fast bowler, who took a staggering 16 wickets in his debut Test against England in 1972. His swing and seam bowling left the English batsmen baffled.

Then there's also the tale of Bernard Bosanquet, an English cricketer who introduced the googly, a mysterious spin delivery, during his Test debut in 1903. It completely bewildered the batsmen of his time.
