You are a debutant bowler,and your first international wicket has to be a bowled.
Easy,isn’t it,and many bowlers have done that in the past,no doubt.
But taking his first international wicket as bowled across all three formats of cricket- ODIs,T20Is and tests,has been achieved only by one bowler,none other than Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
- He bowled Md. Hafeez as his first ODI wicket(2012).
- He bowled Nasir Jamshed as his first T20I wicket(2012).
- He bowled David Warner as his first test wicket(2013).
This record still stays with him.
So many yorker specialists debuting nowadays are yet to achieve thus record. Plus,debutant spinners with their flippers and top spins can easily get batsmen bowled. Yet,they too haven’t touched this record.
Many bowlers have bowled batsmen as their debut wickets in any 2 formats,but none has achieved this feat across 3 formats,except Bhuvi.
This is a Bhuvi special!😇
Interesting fact-
Do you know that Bhuvi’s first IPL wicket,Shaun Marsh too was a bowled? He just loves getting batsmen bowled.😆

Edit 1- Gautam Sethi believes that B. Kumar has lost the prodigious swing which he displayed vs Pakistan in 2012,or against England in 2014. According to me,we should wait for him to play again on those kind of surfaces. I bet he will be able to generate swing again.
