IND vs AUS: During the second test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Australia's legendary fast bowler Mitchell Starc made a great record in his name. Mitchell Starc made an amazing record by sending India's young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal to the pavilion on the very first ball of the match. As soon as Mitchell Starc trapped Jaiswal LBW during the Pink Ball Test being played between India and Australia in Adelaide, he broke the record of a legend and equaled the record of a former cricketer. Starc has become the bowler taking the joint highest wicket on the very first ball in the Test.

Stark has done this feat three times. Whereas former West Indies cricketer Pedro Collins had also achieved this feat thrice.

Starc dismissed these batsmen including Jaiswal

Apart from Yashasvi Jaiswal, the three batsmen who were dismissed by Mitchell Starc on the very first ball in the Test also include Sri Lankan batsman Dimuth Karunaratne (2016). At the same time, Mitchell has also dismissed England batsman Rory Burns (2021) on the first ball of the Test. Let us tell you that all three of them are left hand batsmen. Whereas Pedro Collins had taken the wicket of former Bangladesh cricketer Hannan Sarkar on the first ball of the Test all three times.
